Building my second computer, but it's been about 7 years since my previous/first build. Just wanted someone to take a look and give input. Do I have everything I need? Thanks in advance. 

 

Phanteks Pro M Case

EVGA 750w Gold PSU

Asus Z97-A Motherboard

Intel i5 4460 3.2 1150 Processor

Corsair Vengeance Pro ddr3 2x4gb

Samsung 850 Evo 250gb 2.5" SSD

WD Blue 4TB 5400rpm HDD

Microsoft Windows 10 Retail USB

LG USB 2.0 External ODD

Old Logitech M100 Keyboard/Mouse

Old Asus Monitor

50" Vizio to connect to with HDMI

Old Yamaha Receiver/Polk Speakers (5.1)

 

Motherboard came with 3 16" SATA cables, but I'm worried that they will be too short for cable management...?

 

I'll be using this to watch movies/TV off of the 4TB HDD and playing Counter Strike mostly. Eventually I'd like to get a GPU and play some more modern games, but a good GPU is not in the budget right now. 

 

I would appreciate any input. Any extra cables, brackets, software?

I'd just get a skylake i3 and B150-H170 board and 8GBs if DDR4.

I realize a lot will be overkill, but I woul like to have some room for upgrade in the future. Already bought the CPU, MOBO, and PSU. Got a good deal, so I don't feel too bad. Looking at buying the rest of the build soon. 

 

Woulf like to to stay around $500 for the rest and get a GPU a little later. 

 

Thanks, man. Appreciate the input.
