A floppy drive cable (if you have a floppy) and 2 IDE cables are all you need, right? They have those too.

or to see all:

If you are getting a new retail hard drive, usually a cable comes with it. Not so with an OEM drive. They are the drive only.

CD/DVD's usually come with one too if they are the retail box.

You'll have to check on that, but they are always the flat ones, never the nice round ones like the first link.  ;)

TWO IDE cables IF you have IDE drives. (SATA drives have their own type cables.)

Usually a power cable comes with a computer or case.

Have fun.

That board has onboard sound. Try that first. Usually they are adequate. If not, then you can spend more ca$h.

That is all you will need in the way of cables.
