I'm looking to build a pc powered by a EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. I'm going for a white and black theme and think some custom cables would really look nice in my build. I am having difficulty finding what cables to get. My question is:

What cables are necessary for a build? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a company who does custom cables?

Well there a lot of cables needed for even a basic build. So the cables is as listed and hopefully I don't miss anything. This is for basic build.
1. You need the 20-24 power (normally 24) motherboard connection
2. CPU power
3. Sata power with 1 for each drive type (SSD, HDD, Disk Drive, and ect.)
4. Sata Data with 1 for each drive type C
5. Power for the GPU and keep in mind you need more of these cables if your running multiple gpu's
The other cables are not something you can get in color as its specific to case like power switch for example. Company that does custom cables is CableMod.

As said above, CableMod is one good source for custom sleeved power cables. For your G2 PSU, you'll need E-series power cables,
link: https://cablemod.com/products/?filter_series=e-series&show_products=72

Without having to figure out which cables you do need and which you don't, go for ModFlex Cable Kit that includes all power cables in ample amounts. E.g black & white: https://cablemod.com/product/cablemod-e-series-g2-p2-cable-kit-black-white/
or completely white: https://cablemod.com/product/cablemod-e-series-g2-p2-cable-kit-white/

My Skylake and Haswell builds also use CableMod custom sleeved power cables, red colored for Skylake and blue colored for Haswell. Full specs with pics in my sig.

Good alternative to EVGA Supernova G2 would be any Seasonic unit, in 500W range. E.g: S12II-520, M12II-520 EVO, G-550 or Focus+ 550,
pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/bkp323,TgW9TW,fZyFf7,DPCwrH/

Focus+ is the newest PSU line from Seasonic and it comes with 10 years of OEM warranty. Other listed Seasonic PSUs come with 5 years of OEM warranty.
All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic.

Do note that when you go with Seasonic unit, you'll need CableMod SE-series power cables and not E-series.
