Thanks for all the help.
The reason why I was having so many problems was because there was a little problem with one of the pins. Three of them were alright, but there was a fourth that just wouldn't cooperate.
After that, the main problem I ran into was having trouble installing Windows Vista. That was solved after I fixed the wiring with my optical drive and two hard drives.
After that, I had no sound. I fixed that by installing the sound card properly.
Now my one (and I believe only) problem is that the computer doesn't recognize my largest hard drive. It's plugged in the exact same way as the other, so I have no idea what's wrong. When I go through the BIOS, it identifies both hard drives, but for some reason I'm unable to use the second.
If that were to be fixed, I would be content, though I'm still worried about overheating. I don't see any evidence that would point to overheating, but after having my CPU reach 110 degree celsius, I'm still worried. Does anyone know of some sort of small program I can download that keeps track of the tempuratures of the parts of my computer? I still think I should organize and tie up the wires. I also have this additional fan that came with my motherboard that I could use, but I'm not sure where I would put it.
I'm very, very shocked as to how well the computer is doing. I'm able to run Crysis with everything on high with absolutely no lag! It almost seems too good to be true.
