Do I only need an aux CPU cable, PCIe cable, and the 24 pin motherboard power cable? Are there any other cables that I need to use? Thanks :).

You also need sata power cables, and molex if you want it.

Your power supply comes with the cables you need. Unless you plan on getting separate sleeved cables

 

Yeah there are a bunch of them but I want to only plug in the ones I need for my build.

It's an older type of power connector.

Oh yeah, then just the CPU power, PCIE power, 24 pin, and SATA power. I use Molex for my fan controller, but I think they're also used for case lighting and stuff like that

Basically old version of sata power cables, often used for older components and things like water pumps, power for hot-swap bays etc. You shouldn't need them though especially for a modern build like this on ^_^

They all come with the PSU, however you can get aftermarket cables.... But you have to make sure they are specifically for your PSU
