Cables for what?

[Mohenjo]

No? what do you mean premium cables? Like a 50 dollar hdmi cable? Or power supply sleeving?

SATA cables

Yes, they'll give your PC an extra 20 Horsepower each. (no, you don't. Premium cables very rarely make any difference, especially if it's carrying a digital signal)

No. SATA cables are SATA cables, they all work fine. (also, there's no such thing as a SATA II or a SATA III cable, in case you were wondering. It's just the controller that changes, not the cables)

then no, basic sata cables that come with the motherboard are fine.

Unless you can get some cat 7 sata cables. 

[Unexas.]

You must spend at least $100 per cable or else they won't work.

Unless the cable is literally donkey doo or the computer is in an area with really high EMI, any cable will do. I'm pretty sure metal coat hangers will do.

Nope. As long as it has 7 pins you're fine.

I work in a retail computer store, and im gonna be 100 percent and say all the "premium" cables are bullshit. just buy whatever is cheap.

Same thing, more or less. The cable that came with the PS4 Pro that I bought is certainly not "Monster cable" quality. It literally looks like something you can buy off Monoprice for $2. But it does 4K HDR 60Hz just fine.

 

You don't need to buy super high-end cables. Especially for digital signals. For the most part, as long as the cable run is 6 feet or under, most cables will work fine.

Nope. They just carry a digital signal (though some versions of DVI can carry analogue), so for the most part they either work or they don't. At most, premium cables may gives you some extra protection against cats if they try to chew through some sleeving or something. In terms of picture quality and performance, it makes no difference.
