I have built a computer virtually on newegg.com and plan on purchasing ASAP once I believe 100% that everything is compatible. I am pretty sure it all works, but nothing wrong with getting an expert opinion or two. Here's the link and Thanks You to anyone who helps!

Motherboard:

I already have a mouse and speaker system and obviously the keyboard is easy to hook up. So my remaining questions are:

-Is there any other hardware I need?
-I have read the the motherboard has issues connecting to the power source as this motherboard uses 24 pins. I have found an adapter in which that I think works but I want someone to double check it for me

- I figured out how to ground myself using the (using the cables linked to below). Must I use two grounding cables, one for each hand so I can use each hand when building? Or can I just use one grounding cable on one hand and still use both hands to build the computer?

And would these work for cable ties to hold the wires together neatly inside
