Parts for new pc

[Jarlxl]

Hello, as the holidays have begun I'm finally getting round to making a pc! (I really need one now)

I'm planning on using Windows XP SP2 for now and I understand only 3.2gb or so of the 4gb will be usable.

I also plan to use my existing 7600GT graphics card.


Abit IP35 Pro XE Socket 775 Motherboard
1x £89.25

Corsair 4GB PC2-6400 XMS2 (2x2GB)
1x £61.23

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz (Retail 775)
1x £95.95

250Gb Western Digital Caviar SE SATA 8MB
1x £26.50

Antec Three Hundred Cool and Quiet Gaming Case
1x £29.85

Corsair 520W HX V2 Series Modular PSU
1x £54.76

I was wondering if all these parts are compatible?

Do I need some thermal paste and a fan for this CPU or does this it come with a fan so I don't need to bother?

Does the motherboard come with all the cables required for attaching everything together?

Thanks for your time.

processor comes with thermal paste.
