So I've ordered everything for my first build last week and I thought I had everything ready. Then as I was daydreaming and looking over my order on newegg.com I noticed something...
The optical disc drive I ordered was OEM.
"Oh CRAP" I thought. I know what that means! It doesn't come with cables! Thankfully, my Gigabyte mobo has come with 4 SATA cables but then I looked at the ports on the back of this drive in the image.
What is that bigger port to the left of the Data SATA port. It says Power SATA. Great, my mobo doesn't come with any of those. Is this cable going to be coming out of the PSU I ordered or is this another cable i'll have to order? Please help, my build is arriving on Monday and now I won't be able to install my OS to the build until I get this cable thing figured out.
Here's the drive.

I'm a noob and admit my shame....
