You need three of them, one for SSD, one for HDD, and one for DVD. The MB comes with 4 of the sata cable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

All the sata cable will be same, if you need some UV like this http://www.xoxide.com/seataad.html

The card reader. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


I already bought the card reader, but does it need a SATA cable? Is there any other cables I need to buy?

No. Maybe the HDMI cable if you use it connect the hd7950 to monitor, but you can use the DVI.

This; maybe if you were watching Blu-Ray movies you'd go with the HDMI cable.
