I would like to get the above power supply, however I am unsure as to whether it has enough cables on it for what I need.

I need:
Power for Mobo
Power for CPU
3 SATA power connectors in total (2 HDDs and 1 Disk drive.)
A power connector for my gpu (GTX 760, not sure which power connector this has)
Power cables for my fans.


Will it have enough? It only has for places to put wires in on the PSU. Is this a problem?
I cant seem to find much info on the cables included.

My motherboard will only have 2 case fan headers, so what do I do with the other 2 that I plan to get?

Thanks!
Dan.

A lot of PSU's don't have any slots for wires, this is called modular and non-modular. Modular means you only use the cables you need and you can change them and attach and un-attach them. Your PSU is semi-modular typically meaning the cables which are attached to the power supply are the 24 Pin ATX MOBO connector 4+4 pin CPU connector and it might have some more but I am not sure. Your Graphics card should have 1 8 pin connector and 1 6 pin connector. The PSU have 2 PCI-E connectors which means there will be 2 8 pin connectors for it and you only need 8+6 so no need to worry!

This PSU should be sufficient.
