So I'm building my first ever rig and the case i purchased came pre-installed with 5 case fans the top 2i replaced with corsair 120mm white led quite fans which has the 3pin connection along with the back fan also with 3pin connection. My problem is that the 2 front fans are 4 pin Molex. Now i understand that i connect these straight to the psu which is the CORSAIR CXM series CX750M 750W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply. My question is will i be able to connect both front fans and my ssd and hdd with the hardware provided with the psu.

Your SSD and HDD should both use SATA power connectors (unless the SSD is M.2, in which case it wouldn't need any power connector).

The fans would need a 4-pin Molex power connector each.

The CX750M has 8 SATA power connectors and 6 4-pin Molex power connectors. So it's got plenty of connectors for your system.

You could also use adapters to plug the front fans into the motherboard, so they won't run at full speed constantly. But that's up to you.
