I built this pc 2 years ago and am finally making some upgrades. I've already purchased the components and am not sure what cables and etc. ill need to hook up everything. This is my computer currently
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jbuie91/saved/rKrH99

Here is a list of the purchased parts
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116989
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121770
SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178338
I'm also adding a identical second monitor.

So far I believe I need 2 cables to hookup the GPU and also cables to hook up the SSD & HDD. I'm just not sure what they are. If you know of anything else I might need, maybe thermal pasting for the cpu? Oh and should my power supply be able to handle this? Hoping to make all the upgrades soon as parts arrive. Thanks ahead for any help.
 
HDD and SSD's use SATA 3 cables and then you plug the PSU's power cables into the HDD/SSD.

High end graphics cards use PCIE 6pin and 8pin cables which come attached to most PSU's now.

You will have a CPU power cable on your PSU that goes into the motherboard to power your CPU
