Hello.
I'm building my first gaming PC and I've ordered all my parts and waiting for them to be delivered.
I would just like to know if there's any extra components and/or cables I need to buy for my PSU or anything like zip ties, splitters, extensions, sleeves, Velcro ties etc that I need to buy because of my sound card and all the RGB stuff and fans in my build because I don't know if my PSU or the things I've bought will come with all the cables and stuff that I am going to need or if my motherboard/psu has enough slots/headers etc to power and control everything correctly without needing extra things and also to keep everything nicely organized and tidy hidden away.
I'd like to have all my RGB stuff linked up so I can control all the lighting effects either off my motherboards software or a controller thing, whichever is the best way to do it and to be able to control my fans etc whichever is the best way to do them both...?
I also still need to buy some thermal paste for the CPU but not sure what the best one to get is?
I also need to buy the tools to build my PC but not sure what tools I need apart from a screwdriver that is magnetized?
Thanks for taking the time to read through this and help me and sorry for so many questions and all the help I'm asking for it's just because this is going to be my first time building so just want to make sure I've got everything I need ready when I start putting it all together. I really do appreciate it allot!
