the thermal compound is applied on the CPU. Then you put the CPU fan over the CPU. The best thermal compond that is out there now is called Artic silver. the 420 watt should be enough. Bacisally the cold cathodes are to make your case look cool if you have a window for it. There very bright. The rounded cables make your case look much neater. So you wont have that huge IDE cable running through ur case.
