Cable extensions, LED and pre build HELP

[_Cart]

Ok so I'm doing an all white build and I have everything but the cables and LED's. I'm looking into LED's and cant seem to find out what to do with them. What are the best RGB LED's for the H440? Also Since I got a non-modular power supply I'm getting extensions so what cables am I going to need? On cable mods website it shows the 4 pin ATX extension, I'm guessing I need the 8Pin PCI-E Extension(GPU), 24 Pin ATX Extension (MoBo) and the 4 Pin ATX Extension(CPU). Are those really all the cables I need? Another thing is I'm going to put both SSD's where they can be seen and I'm getting cables for them to. The SATA 3 Data cable is only 1 port on the ssd what about the SATA Power cable?

Sorry this has been just a ton of questions but thanks for the help, and if there are any Coupon codes for cable mod that are working for me (I live in Pennsylvania) that would be greatly appreciated

You need an 8pin EPS for the 8 pin. Not the 4 Pin.

Pick any LEDS. Cablemod LED's work great( I own a set of them), Haven't messed with NZXT's Hue

 

The extensions you'll need are:

24pin Mobo, 8 pin EPS, 8 pin PCIE.

 

If your mounting your SSDs on the bottom of that H440, no one will see the connectors. So they don't matter, and it's a COMPLETE waste of money. Save the money and upgrade to an aftermarket 1080.

 

Myself, I bought the 8 PIN EPS, 24 pin Motherboard, and the one for my GPU. That's it. Those are the ones that are seen.

The Sata power and Data cables are hidden in my case, so no one sees them, so I used the ones that came with my motherboard.

It depends on the motherboard, although most are 8 pin.

 

The SSD cable will be visible if he mounts it on top of the psu.

 

Also depending on the gpu he might need 6 pin or 8 pin.

He has a parts list. I went off that for the extensions.

 

The PSU is hidden in the case he wants/is using. The SSD's will be shown if he uses the basement cover to mount them.

I didn't see the parts list bit  Yes the psu is hidden but if he mounts the SSD on the top of that cover the cables coming out of the back of the SSD will be visible.

A 90 degree bend ssd data/power cable hides it.

 

To use the quad/triple/or even double sata power cable, basically requires the drives to be in a sled, which the case he has, does have, but they won't be shown. 

 

The only way to show them and power them would be a single sata power cable to each one. Which only would be showing the smallest bit of cable. Which is the end, which has probably all black or white ends. So the part thats sleeved would be hidden in the basement, not being seen.

 

Which makes it a waste of money. Just going off whats shown in the part list. The sleeved sata cables end up being hid except the smallest little bit, which is typically all one color. Or in Asus's case (Going off my experience with what Asus points in the box) is a black/white ended sata cable. Which would work fine is the OP's case.

You can clearly see the cables. Picture below shows what I mean. A 90 degree cable isn't going to hide it.
