Forgot about it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018&cm_sp=Cat_Power_Supplies-_-Spotlight-_-17-341-018

Anyone that can provide info on the little things that go into a build like thermal paste, wires, cables, etc Please, let me know. This is my first build and it's definitely not cheap; really want it to work the first time. Thanks for any and all information.
