Hi, I'm building my first PC and I don't know how many of the PSU cables I need to plug in. I've done the GPU, SSD, and the main power connector. Do I just plug in everything I see pretty much?

You plug in everything you see. 4+4 pin for the CPU, cpu fan header (not from PSU obviously), 24-pin (super bulky) any cables for your GPU, SATA power and SATA data to any drives and then plug the front panel connections (hell) in near the bottom of your motherboard.

CPU (4 pin or 8 pin depending on your motherboard), 24 pin ATX, GPU (or other PCI-E devices that require extra power), and SATA drives. Also plug in any fans, front panel connectors, etc.

You also need your CPU 4/6 pin connector. located usually around the cpu socket.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.
