There definitely will not be a shortage of wires lol

Your PSU box and manual will show the wires. Typically, it's a high amount of SATA connections, some PCIe power, ATX connector, molex, CPU power, et-cetera.

Are you getting the CX550 or CX550M? I would highly recommend going for the CX550M as it is semi-modular, which will make upgrading or installing new parts much easier, but if you cannot afford the CX550M I would go for the CX550.

Affordability isn’t my concern availability sure is ?
