Buying OEM

A few of the parts I am buying for my PC are OEM (mostly because I cannot find a retail version.). It would be a great help if anyone could tell me what cords I will need to connect these OEM pieces:

Floppy drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=21-103-203&depa=0)

CD/DVD Combo Drive (shipped with one cord [3 wires going into cord and plastic nub at end containg slots for 4 cords] and screws. Don't know if I need something other than this.)

Hard Drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=22-148-034&depa=0 ; not bought yet. If anyone could direct me towards a retail package that would be great)

Yeah, I've had that in my bookmarks since I started planning this PC. 🙂

I've taken apart and put back together one computer. But that was some monster from the early 1990's. I doubt it would be much like today's computers. 😛
 
yeah unless your mobo is a OEM/refurn they are usually included. otherwise they are pretty cheap or maybe you can beg for one in FS/FT.
 
Might as well use this thread for something useful 😀 :

I am buying my motherboard retail, but I cannot decide between these two:

MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130468

and

DFI UT NF3 ULTRA-D Socket 939 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136161

No PCI-E here since the GPU I have is AGP.

Which is a better overall choice (features, reliability, etc)?

Would the MSI's 8 channel audio be clearer than the DFI's 6 channel?
