I get an error with your list... can you try linking it differently?

Try this - https://pcpartpicker.com/user/seamuscahill/saved/wsGht6

 

 

 

You'll need the 24pin for the motherboard, the 8pin (4+4) for the CPU, and two 6+2pins for the GPU, and most likely a SATA power connector for your RGB strips/controller. If you're planning on adding any 2.5" SATA SSDs or HDDs to the system you might want to consider getting additional SATA power cables. Your motherboard has an additional 4pin for the CPU power connector so if you want to populate that you will need an additional 8pin (4+4) for the CPU, though this isn't necessary and you can leave the additional 4pin slot empty.

Depending on how much all that costs you may just want to grab one of the cable kits for the RMx from Cablemod instead of buying each cable individually.

 

Edit: Also in your parts list you have the Corsair RM750x White edition which comes with white coloured cables included in the box.

Hi guys. I'm going to be building my first PC in the near future, and I'm interested in getting some wires from CableMod. My problem is that I can't figure out which wires I'll need. Here's the PCPartPicker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/seamuscahill/saved/#view=wsGht6 . Due to my case having tempered glass on all sides except the back and bottom, I want every wire possible to be custom. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, any suggestions/pointers for the build are very welcome as I still obviously know very little.

thanks spotty

 

with that said, in this case for full cables you'd need Corsair type 4, or as they call it the RMi / RMx / RM compatible line. The other C-series would work too for everything but the 24 pin, since type 4 has a slightly different layout on that connector

Thank so much to you both! I can't believe I didn't realize the PSU came with white cables, I would've spent a ton of additional money for no reason lol. Once again, thanks!
