I am double checking compatibility of the following components, as well as asking for advice between two cpu’s and motherboard’s linked to below.

I am deciding between the two above cpu’s. One is 12 volts less while the other one has 348 more points in the passmark cpu mark test linked to below.

active mini displayport adapter
I am wondering if, since the card above has two mini displayports, one can have a desktop extended across four monitors with this single card through eyefinity.

I am debating between the above two motherboards. People are criticizing the asrock motherboard’s onboard audio in 2 of the 4 reviews posted, but should I care if I am not much of an audiophile beyond using the 3.5mm audio port? Also, will any sata cables work with the 6.0 ports, or will I need specific ones in order to avoid a bandwidth bottleneck?
The next components are ones that I already own, and wish to use.

Also, is thermal paste even necessary, even if you don’t plan on overclocking? I would like to avoid using it if possible.

Any and all advice before I shell out the cash is appreciated!
