I decided to buy a new computer, and also to build it myself. But i don't want to forget anything(yes this might seems pretty stupid, I know) so if someone could make a list of everything(from the mainboard to the little silver liquid you put on the cpu before installing it) I'll need I would really appreciate it.

Motherboard
CPU
GPU
PSU
Fans (Case, CPU, and maybe GPU)
RAM
HDD
Disc Drive
Case
Speakers
Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse
Sound Card
Cables

There are a few things (like the speakers) that you don't need, but could want.

When I but an hdd do I get the cables that I need with it or I have to buy them?

All retail boxed HDDs have the cables, but if it is an OEM, you have to buy the cables. If I remember correctly, they only cost $2.

For the tower:
Motherboard
PSU
Case (Antec 900 highly recommended; no extra fans required)
CPU
GPU
RAM
Disk drive
Possibly a CPU fan, but for all modern Intel chips, stock fans and the heatsink is included.
Sound cards are usually not needed. Most good, modern motherboards include built-in 6.1 surround sound.

Everything else:
Monitor
Speakers
Mouse
Keyboard
Operating system

i Bought my HDD OEM because the motherboard usually comes with 5 or something SATA connecters... Mine even gave me 1 IDE...

Yep they do. Cables aren't usually a big deal. But I would usually get a couple of everything just for emergencies Wink

Also, if you buy from newegg, they will distinctively tell you everything that comes with it.
