[puterdad]

I am not new to the computing age I figure I am between novice and advanced but I have never put a computer together. I am building one now and need to know if I need anything else ie cables and such, I already have a mobo gigabyte 2004 gt edition. And have 512 mb's of pc 3200 as you will see I orderd another 512. I am going to have alot of drives so thats why I was asking is this going to work out! I really would appreaciate any help!

Here is the system minus the mobo and I already have 2 80 gb HD's and I have a 10 bay case
