I am building a new gaming pc for Wow. I have all the parts ordered and I'm picking up the GPU, monitor and PSU up today. I forgot to get a DVD drive for this system. That is essential for a build to load windows, correct? My other question is, do all the wires come with the ordered parts ? Sorry about the newbie questions. Thanks
DVD drive with build? and wires

Yes, everything should come with the parts. And you can use a flashdrive to install Windows, but if you already bought the install disc that's pointless lol just get a dvd drive. They're only like $15 now.

That is normal, harddrives don't come with cables. All the cables you will need come with the motherboard, most of the time they come with 4 sata cables or more to hook your harddrive and dvd drive up and will come with a sli and/or CF bridge. The power supply will come with all cables to power everything, and the Video card will come with a few molex to 6 pin power adaptors.
Also you don't have to have a dvd drive for your computer. I keep 1 sata dvd drive laying around and a usb drive as well for any disc installs that I might need. None of my computers over the last 4 years have had a optical drive in them after the windows install, Ive never needed them afterwords so they always get pulled out after the windows install and driver.
