When my parts arrive for my new gaming PC, I have been told that the SSD will be difficult to plug in. Why? Because my case is a Phantom 410, the drive bay has a plastic bar in the way of where a wire could potentially go, for example, a right angled sata cable. A right angled sata will not fit, so I have been informed to use a straight wire, but where can I find that?
Correct wire for SSD?

You can buy SATA cables from the same place you bought the other parts. I don't really think it will be a problem plugging in a rt.-angle cable to an SSD in that case. Unless you're really a stickler for 'neatness' you don't even have to mount an SSD in a bay, you can just plug in the cables and place it in an out of the way spot or even dbl-stick tape it to the side panel if you want.

You shouldn't have any problem with securing the SSD in any of the 3.5" drive bays as the brackets have screw holes that allow the mounting of 2.5" drives (the four screw holes on the bottom of the drive). Any SATA cable will work (angled or straight) and it should come with a SATA cable (usually having one straight end and one angle end).
