I just got a Samsung 850 pro and don't know exactly what cords I need and where to get them

u need a sata cable from your motherboard to the ssd and then a sata power connecter from your power supply to your ssd.  if you have a mechanical drive or any other type of hdd then its the same connection

a regular SATA 850 pro? or did you mean to say 950 Pro and it's M.2? if it's a regular SATA 850 PRO, use any SATA cables you got.

You may well have the sata cable you need in your mother board box. They often come with a couple. If not they are only a few dollars on Amazon, NCIX, New Egg. And for power, your power supply should already have sata power plugs available. If not you can get a cheap 4 pin adaptor of Ebay or similar.
