I can't tell if some/all/or none of the parts I am buying include SATA cables. Does the PSU come with them for the rest of the components to connect to the MOBO? Are there any other cables I need? If the individual components don't come with cables is there a good brand or will these monoprice cables be good.

As you can tell I'm still learning a lot and have a long way to go before I actually buy anything. Thanks for the help!

Do I need to get another data cable for the disk drive?

Yes, you have 3 SATA devices and as your mobo comes with 2, you'd need a 2nd.


There are two different types of SATA cables. There is a power SATA cable that comes with your PSU, and the SATA data cable, like what you linked below. Most of the time, your motherboard will come with at least a couple data cables. If you need more, you can get straight ones or 90 degree ones like you linked for pretty cheap.
