Those cost 70-80$ and I paid 80$ for PSU , sounds kinda dumb to pay same price for just a cables, that's whybrid I'm going with extentions instead

When you find the right cable, please post link here and ask again, just to be sure.

Last thing you need, it to order wrong cables.

But for CPU it should be something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CB-8P-Individually-Sleeved-Motherboard-Extension/dp/B0036ORCJY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1470315265&sr=8-2&keywords=8pin+cpu+power+extension

Well that's simply how much modular custom cables cost. That's not actually an unreasonable price for them and they would look a hell of a lot better.

The cables you chose as extensions will work however.
