your board comes with 2 sata cables. so you don't need to buy them extra. You don't need case fans oder an extra cpu cooler. 3220 dosn't produce much heat. you can change it if you think its to loud but i think you won't.

 

don't buy a strange noname PSU!

you could probs get a 1tb WD hdd for a tenner more off ebuyer I think.

I think something like the cx430 would be a better psu.

The stock cooler should be fine and you don't need the aftermarket cooler nor the thermal paste.

Also, a 1tb Seagate barracuda isn't much more expensive.

The case has front usb 3.0 the motherboard doesn't support. You might save some money by getting a cheaper case without front usb 3.0 ports.

yeh the heatsink, fan and satas are mainly cosmetic as the case has a big side window and i have owned about 4 of those powercool PSU's and never had any problems :)
