What cables would be a good idea?
I am building a new computer ( http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jamesthabeast/saved/sjcgXL ) and I was wondering what cords and cables would be a necessity and what cables would just improve my experience. I am not looking for a critique anymore, but if something is ragingly wrong, then tell me.

Umm... I know you don't want critiques. But I recommend a H97 motherboard instead to avoid the BIOS update and it is not much of a price difference.

No cables are needed other than the monitor. Either DVI or HDMI. If you are playing with external speakers then get DVI. If you playing with the onboard speakers then get a HDMI cable. I am pretty sure most of use will have these cables, at least one or the other.

The only problem with that is that h97 Mobos are not compatible with the other parts on my computer. What should I do about that?
