Hello,

 

I am currently purchasing the components for my new Gaming PC and I'm wondering whether I would need any other cables, of which do not come included with the parts. This is my part list:

 

Intel i5-4590

Hyper Evo 212 CPU Cooler

MSI Z97 PC MATE

8GB RAM
R9 380 4GB GPU

240GB SSD

EVGA 650W PSU
NZXT S340
NZXT LED Strip (1m)
 

 

As I said above, if you could tell me whether I need any other cables which don't come with the components above, I would very much appreciate it.

 

Thanks

you should be good

 

( if you feel comfortable DIY'ing stuff, the NZXT leds are horrible value, order a neutral white on ebay and adapt it to molex )

 

Also don't get a Z97 board with a locked CPU

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

Are these LEDs any better, if I adapt them?

neutral white is like sunlight collor. but i would buy that strip of leds you linked with the remote control. they are not that expensive. you just run the cable trough a watercooling hole on the back of your case and plug it into a wall outlet

This is the result in color : http://i.imgur.com/UiX9IXP.jpg cam is kind of bad for color, need to take a pic in the light )

OK, they are virtually the same as the ebay item I linked, so I shall go with those then. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
