I will be purchasing my first PC next week and I want to buy white threaded cables to match my build. I know I'll have to buy a 24 pin separately but don't know if all the cables in the kit will be enough. Can anyone shine some light in my direction...please?

Here's my build. I know it's a bit overkill but I am future proofing for years to come...hopefully.

Little description of what you get for extra $60.

CPU
Didn't changed it. Though, in my opinion, i7-6700K is too much for gaming alone. You can do just nicely with i5-6600K. It's also cheaper.

CPU cooling
Replaced it with the best AIO water cooling unit. Only the custom made water cooling loop is better than the Kraken.

MoBo
Since you want a white themed build, put in a MoBo that is mostly white and fits much betterly into your build than the Asus you picked.

RAM
Following with the white theme, a RAM with white LEDs. Also a 3200 Mhz RAM for overclocking needs.

Storage
Switched out your 2.5" SSD with M.2 NVMe SSD that is atleast 6 times faster than regular SSD. Gained 6GB of storage space too.

Also switched out the HDD to much more reliable one. Seagate HDDs have too high failure rate.

GPU
Went with MSI GTX 1080 with classical black & white theme to match your white theme.
specs: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1080-ARMOR-8G-OC.html#hero-overview

Case
Didn't changed it.

PSU
Put in a great PSU that comes directly from the best PSU OEM, Seasonic. This PSU is unique since it's completely white. A well match your white theme. It's also 80+ Platinum.
specs: https://seasonic.com/product/snow-silent-750/

OS
The one you picked.

Case fans
Got lost here. Case comes with 3 pre-installed fans. Two of them are with white LEDs. If you mount the radiator at the top then you can only install 2 120mm fans at the bottom.
Your picked 120mm fans are SP fans (Static Pressure) and meant for installing to the radiator. For case fans, you need AF fans (Air Flow). So, i changed them to AF fans with white LEDs.
I also added one extra 140mm white LED fan just in case you want to switch out the rear fan and have LEDs there aswell.

Optical drive
You had blu-ray reader in. I put the blu-ray writer in.

Didn't change the monitor, KB and mouse.

Oh, you don't need thermal paste since Kraken comes with one. But if you do need it just in case, don't go with the Arctic Silver 5, it's one of the worst. Here i suggest Arctic Cooling MX-4 instead.
