Will This Semi-Modular PSU Have Enough Cable Ports?

HI, I've got my build planned out, ready to buy and build. But I have one question. I'm getting a Corsair CXM 600W Semi modular PSU which only has 4 slots for extra cables.(http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ALK3QRS/ref=twister_B00I5LYCI2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 check 600W, semi modular edition)
My list of components requiring power cables are:
2 PCI-E for R9 380(dual 6-pin)
1 SATA conenctor for single HDD
1 Molex for MOLEX to Fan Connectors Adapter

So here's my question, isn't it kind of non-future proof having no extra room for connectors? I wouldn't need an extra connector for another HDD/SSD since the SATA cable has more than one conenctor right? Thanks!

TL;DR:
Isn't it non-future proof for a semi-modular PSU to have the same amount of cable connectors as the number of cables required?

How would I have to replace that PSU yearly, I thought Corsair were one of the best PSU producers? But that XFX PSU does look pretty good, might pick it over the Corsair

Corsairs CX series uses poor quality capacitor that have a higher failure rate, from what I have seen they have an average life span of around a year. Less if under higher loads and/or in a warmer environment as heat speeds the degrading process. Corsair doesn't actually make PSUs they just order them from a manufacture and brand them. Corsairs higher end units(ax, hx) are good but their budget units are not good and their midrange units are a mixed bag CS(M) and RM should be avoided while the RMi and RMx are good.
