When building a PC how would I know where all the cables go?

Alright so I'm building my first pc and So far I know where the RAM,CPU,Motherboard,CPU Fan, and PSU pretty much the important stuff but the thing that confuses me the most is th cables I've seen videos and the case have a bunch of cables and they just skip that part, would I just connect everything as where they fit? Will the cables have a certain name and so will the motherboard so I know?

Another question I have is if it will come with everything necessary? All the cables so I will only need a screwdriver and it'll be ok this is my build

Will everything fit? It says on the bottom
"* Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders." will everything fit?

It's pretty easy. The cables run from the power switches, status LEDs, and USB ports, plus microphone and headphone jacks. There should be labels and polatity information on the cable plugs, and the motherboard manual will have a map showing where things go.

This is my build log http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2328703/build-log-mini-itx-middle-school.html We used only screwdrivers and cable ties (plus some cutters to cut the cable tie one of my students wrapped so tightly around their finger that blood supply was decreased. Having screwdrivers with magnetized tips helps a lot. I bought a $8 set of about ten from Harbor Freight.

If you start your own build log and post photos as you go we can help you with each step.

I cannot be certain about fitting, but the cooler you have selected has fans that can be moved to clear memory. Mr Hacksaw can fix tall heat spreaders.

Thank you for the help! I will be reading that shortly. Should I just get a new motherboard to prevent any problems?

NO! The problem is caused by the uncertain intersection of all possible motherboards, all possible memory heatsinks and all possible CPU coolers.

You can adjust the cooler as you install. Look at this thread. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2272148/cooler-master-hyper-212-evo-skill-ripjaws-clearance.html
