At least two SATA cables should have come with your motherboard, but if not:

Connect these to the ports on the right side of your motherboard.
On your PSU you'll find cables with SATA power connectors on. They look similar to the SATA data cables, just wider. Plug these in too, and you're good to go.

They both use the same cables, don't worry about it. The cables you need will be included. If your build has a DVD burner, however, then you'll need an extra SATA data cable for this.

And SATA data cable at all. Try the one I linked earlier, as it has a right angle connector on one end making it easier to route the cable.

Nope, the SSD goes into the 6gbps port as it utilises the faster speed of the SSD. The other two go into any of the 3gbps ports. 16 inches will be plenty.

You'll have all of the cables you need included with the PSU, including a cable to the wall outlet. If you need any help with anything just drop me a pm
