hello so i was wandering if anyone can help me i am building a pc for the first time and i'm stressing over it a bit so ill get right into it i know of most of the parts i'm, going to get but i would love feed back on them if its a good choice or not but i'm having issues i don't know what wires to buy or what comes with the hardware i'm buying so here is a list of the hardware:

case: inwin mana136
MOBO: asrock 970 extreme 4
CPU: AMD 6300 Vishera six core
RAM: mushkin enhanced redline 8gb ddr3 1866
power: XFX core edition pro650W
storage: seagate barracuda 3tb 7200 rpm 64mb cache(not sure what cache is)
optical drive: samsung sh-224db
os: win 7 home premium (screw you wn 8 lol)
grafix card: gtx 550 ti (i already own this so its probably bad or old but would rather not change it)

so that's about all i'm getting so far and i'm not sure what cables to get and also was looking into a fan controller but i don't know what to get also any other hardware or other stuff to get? thanks in advance. [ckixy]

oh and side note the case comes with 2 fans but can mount 4 more 120mm should i get 4 more or at least2 or so? these are what i'm looking at and it says it works with a controller

also i'm trying to find teal leds but not sure where to find them and how to wire them oh and i think they are called cable covers those netting things that go over wires but as you can see i don't know what to call them or what to look for searching for them.

I made this build, and I think you'll like it. It comes with three fans, which should be more than enough if you don't plan to overclock. Also if you want to add a teal led strip around the case, searching on google will help you a lot and you should find everything you need. Anyways here's the build.
Btw this build is the cheapest build possible using good parts, and can save you money.
