Does ALL mother boards come with the wires to connect stuff like the GPU, CPU and other components or will I have to buy them separately. Thanks in advance

Mobos usually only come with a couple of SATA connections for drives.

The power supply will have all power connections you need.

And for the CPU cooler connector and the GPU?
Will I be expected to find an audio cable as well or has that got nothing to do with the mother board?
Is there any wires ill need to buy to connect to anything else that you can think of?

You should probably do more research on how to build a PC.

I don't know what cables you could possibly be referring to.

There's like connectors that sit in the GPU at the top, I think it's called a pin-connector, and theCPU's cooler to allow it to work and I'm not to sure but I think that may be some sort of a pin-connector

There's a piece of text I gathered from online but I can only understand some parts of it, so if you don't mind and if you can will you be able to make it easier for me to understand please. Thanks in advance
There should be an 8-pin cable made up of two 4-pin cables that snap together, marked EPS or CPU, NOT PCI, or PCIe. That goes by your CPU, at the top of the board.

A 6-pin, likely a 6-pin and a 2-pin that snap together, marked PCIe or PCI, plugs into your GPU. Leave the extra two pins hanging loose.

The big cable, probably 20+4 pins that snap together, plug into the big socket on the side of the board.

A SATA connecter (thin, with 5 wires) plugs into each of your ODD and HDD. Likely as part of a chain.

Your fans are either powered off your motherboard with 3 narrow pins at 0.1" spacing, or with a big 4-pin peripheral connector, with 2x black, red, and yellow wires.
