Im building a PC and I ordered an SSD. Do I need any extra cables?

You'll need a SATA power cable and SATA data cable. The first should come with your PSU and the second should come with your motherboard.

One more thing. SATA II or SATA III Cables? Once one is better?

All the newer SSDs, motherboards, even hard drives are now SATA III.
