So I've been reading through resources for the last couple weeks trying to plan my first build. I've got most everything sorted out but was hoping someone with a little more experience could reassure me that I'm going in the right direction.
Here's what I have so far:

Is the fan the comes with the Xeon sufficient for the most part? I'm blazing through around $1400 by the time it's all said and done and that's a little more than I wanted to spend. I just wanted to leave some room for expansion as I plan on hanging on to this thing for a while.
Am I missing anything other than maybe buying another sata cable? I think the mobo only comes with two and I wasn't sure if the hard drives came with any. I've got an old UPS I plan to use until I can get another one ordered and I plan on incrementally adding more storage as I get the money.
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can throw my way.
