Building a Computer

So, I'm building a computer I spent a huge amount on all the parts all individually bought (AMD FX 60 hell ya), and I really have no idea what I'm doing. So everything's in the case now, but it appears the company I purchased the parts from (New Egg) didn't send the required cables with the DVD Burner or the Hard Drives (both WD 10K RPM Raptors). So the additional cables I require are 2 sata cables to plug the hard drives into the mobo, and an ide cable to hook up the burner right? Am I missing anything? On the burner it looks like there are more slots to plug stuff into than just for power and the mobo. The power supply is providing the 4 pin connectors but of course. Thanks!
 
There will also be a sound cable for the DVD to get sound out of CDs and DVDs that you play in the drive. It will connect to your sound card or motherboard if you have integrated audio.
 
Also, have a look at the motherboard manual ... it babysteps you through how to get the basics up and running.
