I already built my system from the parts listed here. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gaminger/saved/

Everything is put together and I've been able to use the computer with just the SSD, which I successfully connected to the PSU and motherboard, so all of that is fine.

What I want to know is how do I connect the hard drive (HDD) to the computer? I tried all of the cables that came with the components I listed, but none of them connected the hard drive to the motherboard and PSU successfully.

What I need to know is what exact cables do I need for my specific components? Can anyone tell me what cables I need just looking at the exact hard drive, motherboard and PSU I bought?

Okay, you're right. I checked my setup again and I found that I already have the cord I need to connect the PSU to the hard drive. But I don't have another cord to connect my hard drive to the motherboard. I do have one cord that can but it's already being used to connect the SSD to the motherboard.

Here are two pictures. https://flic.kr/s/aHskFRcuY3

One picture showing the power supply cable that will connect to the hard drive, and the other picture showing the cord connecting the SSD to the motherboard, which is the same kind of cord that I need. I'm going to look for that cord online now. I don't know what the exact cable is called or how do I find it.
