Do i need some kind of cable or adapter for my new SSD, i havent upgraded nor switched HDD or SSD before so thats why i ask. Or do i have already all the cables on my PSU or motherboard?
I have also noticed that there is also kit for that SSD like 20€ more expensive than buying only SSD without kit. It includes some adapter(cable) and that plastic thing you put it on. ( I dont really need it, i plan to use duct tape and put it somewhere) So the only thing i worry about right now is the adapter(cable) if i need it or not. If i have it already on my PSU or Motherboard or not.

I plan to buy Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

I have this:
- PSU: Fortron FSP650-80EGN black
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING
 
SSD needs two cables: power and data. Power cable is included with PSU, and data cables are included with motherboard (depending on model, two or more). If you have many drives, you may have all data cables taken up, in which case you would need to purchase separate data cable.
