Hello,

I have finalized the parts I want and will now order them. I was wondering what other tools I would need for the build:

- Anti-static bracelet or surgical gloves
- Thermal paste? (I ordered the Intel i7-3770k and the aftermarket cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO)
- I ordered a Samsung 840 SSD (250 GB) --> Do I need to buy a mounting tray with it to place in the drive bays? Here is the product I bought from Amazon and I don't see it saying anywhere that the product comes with a mounting tray.

- HDMI Cable to connect desktop to the monitor? (I have not picked out my monitor yet but when I do, what kind of wires will I need?)

Thanks.

-wrist band helpful, but not necessary. Ground yourself to the case every once in a while
-Thermal paste should come with the cooler
-that depends on the case. Some are ready to mount 2.5" drives. My case has 2 x 2.5" mount locations
-cables depend on the monitor and graphic card ports.

- Wrist band: MASSIVE waste of money. You're paying money for a false sense of security.
- Thermal compound: Included with your CPU fan. Not necessary to buy extra.
- Mounting bracket will come with your case
- Your monitor will come with all necessary cables.
