Did I order enough?

I have placed an order for some sleeving to do all the cables in my rig when I build it.

I have ordered:

20 meters of Sleeve SMALL - ORANGE

5 meters of Sleeve SATA - ORANGE

1 meter of Heatshrink SMALL - BLACK

1 meter of Heatshrink SATA - BLACK

Is that enough or do you think I will need more

Erm, what PSU do you have?
Also, how are you planning to do the sleeving? Single wire? or the entire cable?

From what I see here it looks like overkill.

This is the PSU I have: http://www.pcpower.com/power-supply/...uad-black.html

I want to do every cable individually

You should be good, you might run out of the small.

I'd stay stick with what you have, do all the primary cables that are going to be seen first, that way if you run out, it will be in a place where it might not be seen, or at least not very much.

That's a good idea. I suppose the ones out of the way I could do at a later date if I wanted to.

I bought 40 meters total of white and black for my 2 6-pin pci-e cables that power the GPU.. I think I have 20 meters left. I did 14 x 7cm cables

Yeah that's more than enough for that PSU.

for that PSU, it's probably fine. You might need a little more depending on what other cables you're going to do.

Quite literally every cable you can see in the case.

that is honestly alot of wires for that psu. youll probably regret not getting modular. from what i see, theres no way theres enough. if you do the 24pin all the way down to the psu that is basicaly most of it. as i said before i used 35 meters and i didnt have that many cables. ALSO i only did the 24pin about half way down
