Hello, so I'm putting together my PC and I installed my PSU (Silverstone Strider 450w SFX Gold) into my Phanteks P400 case. My cables are way too short, the only cable to reach is my SATA as the SSD is directly above the PSU. How would I go about buying extensions, and what cables would I need?

Here's my part list:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processo
    CPU Cooler: Deepcool CAPTAIN 240EX WHITE 153.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
    Motherboard: Asus Z170-AR ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
    Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
    Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card
    Case: Phanteks ECLIPSE P400 ATX Mid Tower Case
    Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Gold 450W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply
 
Solution
You bought the wrong type of power supply. the SFX for factors are made for small cases although that one comes with a adapter plate to fit.
I would try to return that and buy a proper PSU instead of using extension cables.
