i am building a pc soon and i have alll my specs picked, but i wont post tehm for u to look at liek all the other posts, i was just wondering what else i am going to need for the build when i get the parts. is there anythign extra i should buy that i havent thought about and what tools should i have?

Screws etc. for different parts of the computer is very handy because many of my previous components came without, but they shouldn't in most new products. All i needed to build my computer with was a screwdriver ...

a anti static wristband is definatly worth £5. If your friend has one, burrow it off them. (i burrowed one from my school, along with a floppy drive, as I needed it to install the sata driver.)

o yes, i used one of those too. You can mess up your components if you do not use one

Get a computer tool-kit. They are worth the $10, it comes with a antistatic wristband, a pair of tweezers and socket pulls. Also screwdrivers with the most common sizes used, all of the tools are treated with anti static and anti magnetic material.
