Wires needed for a PC?

I am trying to buy some colored sleeved cables for my new PC coming up. Since i'm new to making them, I don't know any of the exact names of the wires in the PC. I really just need the main wires and maybe the one to connect my RGB Control box to my PSU. 

 

My specs. in case they're required:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/h9Fmpg

  • i7-4790k CPU
  • H100i Cpu Cooler
  • MSI Z97A Gaming 7 ATX Motherboard
  • Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB RAM
  • Samsung 850 Evo 250GB or Kingston Savage 240GB SSD
  • Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HHD
  • MSI Geforce GTX 980 4GB Video Card
  • NZXT H440 Case
  • Seasonic 650W 80+ Gold Fully Modular PSU

What wires do I need? I don't want to buy any I don't need.

Your at least going to need the 24 Pin cable, the 8 pin cpu cable and a dual 8 pin PCI cable or two 8 Pin PCI cables depending on how the psu is set up. If you want you can get sata power cables but you probs wont be seeing it since it will most likely be in the back of the case.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory
