Hey, I was wondering if I needed to buy any additional cables for my build. I'm pretty sure I need to buy Sata III cables for both the HDD and the SSD, but I'm not sure if I'll need anything else. Here's my build:

The HDD and SSD should come with the cables you need for your setup, you don't need to buy them.

Correction: A mobo usually comes with a Standard straight cable and then a curved head cable making it two cables, And if it comes with XMP profiling then you could scale the RAM to 1866..

Ok, thanks for the quick reply 😀
As for the RAM, I heard that I could edit the XMP profile to achieve 1866 MHZ, and the 1866 MHZ version was only a few bucks more expensive than the 1600 MHZ version so that's why I went with that one
(Oh, I just saw you said that too, I wrote this before you did the edit 😛)
 


Thanks, I will get a HDMI cable 😀
 


I forgot to mention that the HDD and SSD's don't come with the cables the motherboard does.. I had a brain fart sorry..
