I was planning on getting a abit IC-7 mobo, but recently changed my mind and am going to go with an intel board. With the abit board it comes with really nice rounded cables like these

I would rather have something like this on the intel board rather than the grey wide ones that i will most likley recieve with it. If someone could tell me where and exactly what I will need it would be appreciated.

Board intel 865
harddrive = 1 (sata)
Cd/dvd = 1

Just wondering, why are you going with an Intel board over an Abit one? You ruin all hope of overclocking in the future, should you decide to do it.

I should put that in my sig why i may choose intel over abit, first thing that people always ask. Well basically cause im not planning on OC'ng the cpu for a few months at least, plus this is my first build from scratch and the BIOS's in intel boards are extremley easy to setup and i am familiar with them, Im concerned if i get an abit board there will be tons and tons of options i have never seen before and will have no clue what to do.

Just wondering, did you already get the Intel board? If not I really really really suggest you get an Abit board like the IS7 or AI7. It's pretty hard to be overwhelmed by the bios, especially since most of the overclocking and tweaking features are in the advanced tab. Which you'll never have to use if you are just planning to run it at stock.

I felt the same way as you did when I built my first rig by myself. I went with a nice Intel board, then decided 6 months later I wanted to overclock it and had to spend more money to get the current motherboard I'm using. Just a thought.

There are only a few options you have to mess with if you're into overclocking. You basically have to make sure your CPU is set to the right speed, and I think everything else is just set to "auto" by default. Very little messing around needed, and if you're feeling more adverterous in the future, you have the option of messing with it. :p
