Am I leaving out anything?

    Okay, I've just ordered my first build and I was wondering if there was anything that I need to get in order to assemble it when it arrives.
    Aside from CPU grease (and maybe an anti-static wristband), is there anything else I need to get? Screws, washers, spacers, anything like that, or does that stuff usually come packaged with the components?
    Also, the coolant I have is this stuff. Will it do, or would I want to get some Arctic Silver or the like? I don't plan on doing any mad overclocking.
    Thanks in advance :)

    I'm sure that grease will do. Artic silver is a very good compound but anything other than the stock stuff is fine.

    All the nuts and bolts will come with the case/MoBo. Only thing I would suggest would be some cable ties. Since they help tidy up the wires a huge amount! My case came with a small box of cable ties, but mine was a cooler master 590. I have no idea about other brands and what they ****.

    Will do, I've ordered an Antec 300 so I'll probably pick some up just in case. Thanks for the help!

    Seems like you have everything. It could be a case that you will need power/fan cable extenders when you've got everything in there though. Has happened me a few times.

    Artic Silver is defo a really good compound to go with.
