I"m a first time builder so please bare with me. I just bought an Corsair RM1000 PSU and while they gave me PLENTY of powering cables in the package, they are all so insanely stiff! It's making cable management a bit of a pain. Would any suggest buying the more flexible "braided" power cables instead? I have a lot of stuff to power and hook up via SATA cables and PCI. Any pro's and con's? In case anyone is wondering what I"m building I"ll list my components. Thanks for the help in advance.

Corsair C70 Case
Asus X99 Deluxe Mobo
Corsair RM1000 PSU
Corsair DDR4 Vengeance Ram
Corsair H100i Liquid Cooling
Samsung 850 Pro SSD
WD Black 4TB HD
LG Blu Ray Optical Drive
EVGA Geforce 780 OC

Just as bad as the Silverstone modular I brought for my build a few mths ago lol. The cables that came with the strider PP05.

It was either too stiff or too short. In the end I had to buy similar cables but they were more flexible made by Silverstone. PP05-E set. http://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=438&area=en dont know if they'll work in any modular PSU tho

But in the end the only cables I did use was the ATX 8 pin from the original PSU cables. Since it was long enough to go round the back of the case into the ATX connection. And there was space on the side of the case. And a few of the PP05-E SATA cables. Since there's not a lot in the new build. Only 1 250 GB SSD and a dvd burner

But the PP05-E cables are really for smaller...
