I ordered this build and since it's mt first im kinda clueless when it comes to the sata cables. I see that my motherboard came with 2 sata cables( slightly different) and the hdd didn't come with anything.

I haven't received the ssd yet but now that im seeing that the hdd comes with 2 and i know that it needs a sata power cable and data cable I'm worrying I wont have enough cables.

Does the psu(that I haven't received yet) come with the sata power cables?

Yeah even lower end PSUs come with enough SATA power connectors for like eight drives.

Your PSU will have at minimum 4 SATA power connectors. Any PSU that doesn't in 2017 is either a) poor quality, or b) a complete ripoff.

 

As for your montherboard only coming with 2 SATA data cables, I had the same experience in ordering my ~$200 CAD motherboard. When I opened the box, my immediate thought was "What in tarnation!? I paid $200 for this motherboard and I only get two measly SATA cables? HOLY CHEAP BALLS!" Cost cutting measures are at an all time high.
