Hi, I'm about to purchase a PC and the plan is to add in my own extra storage drives once the PC arrives. I have them currently in my current PC. I'm wondering if I'm able to request for some Power SATA cables and/or a power extension cable to be added to the build? The build will only have an M.2 SSD in it when its being built so there wont be a need for them to put any SATA in there in the first place. Its an RM850x power supply that's going into the build and im planning to add 4x SATA drives

You'll have to provide your own data cables, but will be enough power cables, just ask them to attach them

The motherboard box will include a couple of SATA Data cables that I'm sure will be put in the Welcome Pack if they're unused in your spec. Generally 2 are included, but I have seen some motherboards come with more. As Martin has mentioned the PSU will come with the required SATA power cables

Have you had your spec checked over? We'd be happy to give it a once over if you'd like!

Cool, thanks for the help.
Yeah sure, here's my configuration.
I know I've gone a bit overkill getting an 850W PSU but I was just following the advice that 750W was the bare minimum

Thanks for this! A few changes we could make.

What's your budget for the system/ how much did you spend? Wha will you be doing with the build? And what monitor will you be using? (make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be idea!) Once we have this information we'll be able to suggest changes that'll bet suit your uses and budget!

Mostly Gaming but I also plan to run some Virtual Machines. I play a lot of games like RDR2, Battlefield, Fallout, Destiny 2, and Forza. The most demanding game I would play at the moment would be Star Citizen. My Budget is around 2500 euros but I'm happy to pay the extra 100 given the current state of the pc market.
I'm using 2 monitors. Both 1080p @ 60hz, One with DVI connection (Asus VS247), the other with just HDMI (Old TV used as secondary monitor).

Brilliant, thanks for this info! Given the monitor's resolution and refresh rate, I reckon it's time for an upgrade. I've cut off a section off the budget to afford a new 1440p 144hz monitor Amazon UK currently has a fantastic deal on the Samsung G5 I'd recommend picking up.
