Screws, Cables, and Manuals will not be included. Drivers can usually be found online.

If theres no screws, cables, and manuals how do people build it?

Should I buy a bag of screws/cables?

And doesn't the manual help:hmm:

Re: If I get OEM...

A new case comes with screws,
or,
use the ones from the old case.

People who build PCs build-up a stock of screws.

You may want to get new SATA/IDE cables too - they come with the mainboard usually.

Re: If I get OEM...

I'm still keeping the old computer thats why theres a new set of everything

Think the case will have enough to build this?

Re: If I get OEM...

Might I recommend these for additional screws;

I love them. They're kinda big, but they're only going to be used inside of, and behind, your case. So you will rarely see them. They're very useful though, I bought 3 packs (30 total).

Re: If I get OEM...

Alright I'll buy 3 bags of them just to be sure.. even if I don't need them its $5 - better safe than sorry

Again, what about cables/wires? will they come with OEM parts or do I need some type of pack with them

Re: If I get OEM...

The IDE cables for the CD/DVD drives should come with the motherboard. Same with the SATA data cable for the HDD. There should be a SATA Power Cable with the Power Supply (you need to buy an aftermarket PSU). If there isn't, you can order a SATA Power Adapter Cable from newegg, or pick one up at your local store since its pointless to wait 2-3 days for a cable. I don't know what you need for those speakers, but all the cables that you need should already be attached to the speakers.

Re: If I get OEM...

If you ordered from NewEgg, just look at the photos for the motherboard. It shows you the cables it comes with.

As mentioned, a new case will have plenty of screws, you need nothing.

If your power supply is new...it will have SATA connectors.

The ONLY accessory you may need...is a rounded IDE cable for your optical drive/s and floppy(if you actually still use one).
Generally the IDE/floppy cables that come with mobos are the old flat type. Some are the old flat type, simply bundled together like a round cable but not quite the same.

Round IDE cables are around $5-20 each, not a big deal but it's nicer to have clean rounded cabnles than those huge flat obstructive monster flat snake things.
