I finally got the money to pull the trigger on buying parts for a new Hackintosh. I'm fairly comfortable with messing around inside a computer case, as I've installed drives, RAM, cards, etc (including one time when I took a Power Mac 7100 completely apart and replaced some of the parts from another 7100) - but I've never actually built a computer from scratch before so I'm feeling slightly uncertain...
Here's my parts list:
Corsair Carbide Series 300R ATX Mid Tower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011
CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX650 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139035
Pareema 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820576006
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128559
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
Sony Optiarc drive (already own)
some SATA hard drive (already own)
Anyone see any glaring omissions, strange choices, or compatibility issues? (The lack of graphics card and wifi is intentional.) I wouldn't think so as I've spent a fair amount of time researching, but you know, a second pair of eyes...
It looks like the case comes with connectors for its fans and front panel jacks, and the power supply would come with all the cables it needs to connect to the motherboard - but am I gonna need to buy separate interface cables for the drives? Are there any other little parts I'm missing that don't come with what I'm already ordering?
Sorry for the dumb n00b questions, but I'd hate to have all my stuff show up at my door and then have to wait for some stupid $12 part or something before I can begin building - "measure twice, cut once", you know, except here it's more like "ask dumb questions, don't make dumb mistakes".
