What Cables should I get

Sparksboi

 Soon I am going to build a desktop and I want custom cables.  I don't know a lot about cables but I know that certain motherboards, GPUs and other components need different cables. Can you tell me what type of cables you think that I need, my motherboard, PSU, case, and graphics card that I am planning to get will be below and I wont need a disk drive or Seta drive, thanks!

Removing my post for now as I do research and update it. Iirc there's no way to delete a post, so a '.' is the second-best thing I can do.

 

Also, You probably don't need a 1000w PSU for a 3080 system, more like a 850w, or a 750w, but a 1000w will do perfectly fine. The nzxt h510 looks nice, but it's airflow is fairly garbage, and I'd recommend a better more airflow-focused case, such as the cooler master td500 mesh, or a p400a/p500a digital.

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Corsair sells custom cable kits.

These cable kits usually comes with all the cables that you need...

Available in different colors.

You have an RMx PSU, so you need Type 4 cables.

You don't need to go with Corsair. CableMods (for one) has Corsair RMx compatible cables too.

Both my main + secondary PCs are using CableMod sleeved cables.

EDIT:

As @Brok3n But who cares?mentioned, the NZXT H510i is a "sleek" looking case, but airflow is pretty junkus.

Better look for another case option.

 

Single RTX 3080 or RTX 3090 ... a 850W would be plenty for that.

Well it depends on the style of the build, you can never go wrong with individually sleeved cables from Cablemods, Mod-One or similar companies. Lian Li also makes RGB cables - the Lian Li Strimer plus.

I agree with getting a different tge 510 case are terrible. 

The the options are on the table for premade custom cables, but the places where you would do your own design expect 3 - 4 weeks before you get them.

1000W is ridiculously over capacity. Nvidia recommends 750W for an RTX 3080, i9-10900K system. Even a 5950X will not need as much.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
