New PC Build - Some Questions

[Alphawao]

Ok So I finally got around to building my new PC.....using some parts from my existing PC.

I've built many PC's before but it been 3 years since my last build and i'm a little rusty.

Antec 1200 Gaming Case
Asus Crosshair IV Formula AMD 890FX
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler
8GB G.Skill RipJawsX DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 2048MB GDDR5
120GB Vertex 3 SSD
2x 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3
2TB Samsung SpinPoint F4 EcoGreen
HiperPower Type-R 680W
X-Fi XtremeMusic
LG GGW-H20L // Pioneer DVR-111DBK
Windows 7 Professional 64

First thing I had to do was figure out how to setup the Kuhler Rad & fan, I see most people go for the push/pull config so I swapped the lower exhaust fan with the kuhler fan/rad but I don't have any long screws to attach the case fan onto the radiator....where can I find these.

I then made the rookie mistake of installing the Crosshair IV into the case before testing it outside so the CPU LED was red when I tested the board. When I removed the Kuhler pump it pulled the CPU out of the socket so I checked the pins and doh...


I looking for guides on how to fix bent pins so if anyone has a suggestion and damn that kuhler was a little tricky to attach.

Also as my PSU's been running 24/7 for 3 years would it still be good?
I guess I'll have more questions esp with SSD but I'll save that for later.

OK I fixed the pins and everything works fine...I currently got the board in the case and I've installed Win7 on a temporary HDD so I can copy files from various HDD to my new 2TB only problem is it seems to be slow like around 40mb....these are mp3 right now so does it take longer to transfer small files?

I also abandoned the push/pull fan setup for now till I find some long screws and the Sata ports are in a slightly odd place I'll need to use smaller cables...any suggestions?
