The included ones are pretty good. Not sure, but you could buy a Corsair kit, or you could just buy sleeved cable extensions from Bitfenix, Silverstone ecc..

I was looking at the Corsair ones but would they work with the PSU?

I do not recommend using other brand cables for any power supply. Unless:

 

1) you are 100% sure they use the same platform

2) you are willing to take the risk

 

Some EVGA PSUs use Seasonic platform, meaning they are wired the same way, sharing same connectors and so on, meaning you should be able to mix their cables. But there is always the risk and I would not do that.

EVGA sells their own individually sleeved cables. http://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=10&family=Power+Supplies&chipset=+Power+Supply+Cable+Set+%28Individually+Sleeved%29

The Corsair cable kit will not work, as they standardized their modular connectors to their "Type-3" pin-out among all their newer PSUs regardless of OEM.

None of the EVGA units uses the Seasonic as their OEM btw. They went with Enhance Electronic for their past 1200w model, but their current units are from Super Flower (the OEM that I believe you were confused with), FSP, HEC, and Etasis (only the 1500w model).

 

Also, even if they utilized the same platform doesn't necessary mean they will shared the same pin-out / connector. The company (EVGA, Corsair, etc) does have some controlled in how the the pin-out to be set in which it will compatible with their own PSUs.

 

So yes, I do agree with your first sentence on no using other cables from another brand.
