Here is what I am looking to buy, this will be my first build but I have done a fair amount of research into getting good quality parts, I hope you feel that this is correct when you read the specs. Two questions for the following:
1. I would need 3 x SATA cables but would like some that "GRIP". Any ideas here? I know a glue gun would do the job. But I love to tinker and this would only be annoying.
2. I have an external surge protector but I have heard of some PSU's having an internal surge protector. Now I have seen a PSU blow. And boy do they blow and I have seen cases where the motherboard is taken with them. I would like to get a PSU with this internal surge protection feature and of a high enough wattage for the following specs. What would be a good one to go for? Is my pick any good?
A little more info:
I was building this system with future overclocking in mind. (i.e when the time is right and I am comfertable with the idea and have gained enough knowlege). Hence the motherboard and the memory being used. I was hoping some advice could be given in the setup below looks a little "unsafe". When I say future, I mean, at least a year future.
