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.

if you are getting more than 1 sata drive you will need to order another sata cable.
