Is this a PC Specialist PC? If so, could you past your specs from your order page so we can see what config we're working with, as this is a closed forum for PC Specialist customers.

Hi all If you're here, it likely means you're having issues which is not good, so we want to help to make it much better as quickly as possible and get you back into full tilt gaming / rendering / production or whatever is your poison. It really helps us if we have the full system...

The connection will also depend on whether you're fitting a 2.5" SATA SSD or an NVMe m.2 SSD.

If it's not, then can I suggest an open forum, such as Tom's Hardware...

You will have to see if there are any SATA data and power cables in the machine already and if not you will need some - if it was a PCS machine all spare cables would've been provided anyway - those cables you showed are not the ones you need for it

As said since its not a PCSpecialist machine we cant really give too much advice, but I'll bet there are a whole load of YouTube videos showing how to install a SATA SSD, though you will need to find out where to plug it in on your specific motherboard.
