2 x SATA 3Gb/s cable
2 x SATA 6Gb/s cable
1 x CrossFire cable
ROG Door Hanger
1 x X-Socket pad
ROG Cable Label
I/O Shield
Don't really think I need the door hanger. Have no LGA 1366 coolers so no need for X-Socket. I'm just wondering if I need those extra SATA ports right now. I'm only going to be powering my rig with a Plextor M3 256gb but intend to add more when I run out of room. Also should I buy a crossfire bridge, going for single GTX 670 for now and maybe SLI later but maybe crossfire for future purposes. I'm also not sure if I need the I/O shield. Can you guys tell me what I need to buy from the ASUS e-store.

Holy... Get the gun. No. Stop... Get the motherboard and send it BACK!
I/O shield is not just a piece of metal, this thing helps to ground the motherboard with the case. So without it static can damage the motherboard if something will happend with PSU or when touching.
Maybe it sounds funny or unrealistic but my friend engineer said the same.
