View Single Post - Miscellaneous supplies when building a PC?

JohnJSal · 02-19-2008, 12:13 AM

Aside from the obvious components (CPU, GPU, mobo, etc.), what are some things I should be ordering before I begin my PC build? For example, thermal paste is something I had forgotten about but luckily remembered in advance. Another possible need may be extensions to PSU connectors (although what types I need, I have no idea).

So I'm wondering if there are other little but necessary things like this that a new person might forget to buy when building. Obviously if I sat down with all my components but no thermal paste, I couldn't get too far.

Thanks.
