So I am wondering about motherboard standoffs, extra screws, and thermal paste. I wondering if the motherboard comes with the standoffs and required screws? Also using the hyper evo 212 will I need to purchase thermal paste along with the components? Also If I have missed anything that I may need such as screws or anything else please tell me!
Here is my system components NOW UPDATED PARTS LIST http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Royaltyyyy/saved/JDQKHx

Thanks in advance,
Royaltyyyy

The case should come with standoffs pre installed and screws required to install all necessary components . Just adding on to your build I would throw a an SSD (120Gb) just for the OS and other programs you will appreciate the performance and maybe upgrade the cavier blue to a black then get the I5 4690k instead (assuming your primary use is gaming )

Yes standoffs & screws are included with your case. The CPU cooler does come with a small amount of thermal grease (you may want to pick up some >$10). Depending upon the case you may need cable extensions.

I would recommend using a minimum of 1866 CL9 RAM. I like G. Skill RAM.

There is a good buy at newegg for a 750 watt power supply $69.99 on sale after rebate.

I'd get 2133 RAM, it's cheaper than 1600 and faster ... well it was 5 minutes ago :) 

$78 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


The WD Blue is a horrible performing HD, comes in 63rd place out of 65 on THGs list

This one is 2.5 times faster in games and comes with a built in SSD for just $25 more

The 750 watter EVGA is a better grade (9.5 build quality rating from jonnyguru) and a lot cheaper at $50

Be careful w/ the Hyper 212.... 2 threads going atm on problems ... make sure you don't overtighten.

I had plans to put in a SSD later on but not at the beginning and the reason I am not a fan of switching to the i% is because I do 3D editing, and will be getting into livestreaming. Thanks for the feedback on the stand offs and other components!

I will check out that ram and yes I will be changing the power supply and how can I choose whether I want to download something to the SSD side or the mechanical side of the hard drive?

When you download something you can set the drive and file to download to. If it doesn't ask you that you can change your browser setting to ask that.

A good HD boots in 21.2 seconds......The SSD boost in 15.6 seconds which of course doesn't help you much if your games are on the HD.

The SSHD boots just 0.9 seconds slower in 16.5 seconds and has since it's 2 GB, you never have to worry about what goes where. If you can notice the difference between an SSD + HD and an SSHD, you're better than anyone in our office. I need a stop watch or benchmark to pick up less than a second.
