    Hi
    I'm about to order the parts for my first pc build and was wondering if:
    1. S-ATA cables will be supplied with the parts or do I need to order them?
    2. Are thermal paste and a fan supplied with the processor?
    Thanks

    They'll come with the motherboard
    2. Are thermal paste and a fan supplied with the processor?
    Cooler will come with processor, it will have thermal paste already applied.

    If it's "boxed". Otherwise you'll need to buy a cooler + paste.

    It is a boxed version. Thats a relief, just didnt want to get a nasty surprise when everything arrived.
