Im going to get a 750i and realized the memory standard is 1066 and my RAM is 800, will it still work?

Also im getting some SATA cables, should i get SATA II or just SATA?

Yes your RAM will still work. On the cables I'm not aware if they are different.

Hmmm, anyone here that can answer the cable question?

SATA is physically identical to SATA II - it's an electrical difference only. So either will do.

So which one is better? I got a 7500RPM harddrive and a 10,000RPM drive.

Neither cable is "better" than the other - they're physically identical. They literally could have come from the same box and just landed in separate bags. The difference between SATA / SATA II lies only in the hard drive/controller communication.
