he is gonna need to power them with a psu.
cables, thermal paste, he might want to upgrade his side fan to 4 x high cfm 120mm fans, but he can wait and see how the stock fan does. he might want to go with 6GB for ram ( 3 x 2GB) and he could have saved himself some money and gone with a 920, they oc very well. |

maybe a hard drive of some sort? lol, DVD would be most useful to... lol if you have to ask, prolly should not be building one. Sounds like your friend needs to do a lot more research.

Id go with the some artic cooling MX-2 thermal compound and a corsair Hx 1000w psu.. You should also get like 6 gigs of 1333 or 1600mhz ram and get a lite-on optical drive and possibly a media card reader. Id also recommend going with a 920 i7 with the new D0 stepping and you might want to pick up a western digital 300gb veloci. Ditch the SIIG sound card and grab a asus xonar 2, cheap sound card are no better then onboard.

He might want an operating system so that he can do something with the system after it posts.
