All in all there are more than enough cables to keep anyone happy with their 650W PSU. It would be nice to have a couple of extra PCIe cables, but with the single 12v rail only putting out 48A, it is probably a good idea if you don't hook up 6 PCIe cables to this unit in conjunction with your CPU and all other internal components. . .
