Default New Computer Advice--ASAP!

I need to buy a New Computer and advice about buying a new one.


I have bought a computer before from Cyberpower, Inc.


I really don't know too much about the various coolants I have highlighted in blue or the various Hardware I have highlighted in red.


Could someone give me advice about whether I need the Case Upgrades and the Performance Tuning Protection Plan?


Do I need to purchase the Intel Smart Response Technology???


And do I need a Data Hard Drive???


Are they just trying to sell me a lot of additional stuff I don't really need???


Also, how good is the Motherboard and Power Supply I am planning on ordering??

Will it support the Intel® Core™ i5-3570K 3.40 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1155 processor or should I upgrade them?



What would you suggest I should get to support the Processor???
