PCS send you everything that came in the component boxes, and which they didn't need in the build, in that welcome box. Some of those bits may be useful in the future (SATA cables for example, or power connectors if you install additional cards) but most of what's in there you'll likely never need. I just store the box in the attic in the remote chance that I might need some of that stuff.

The cables on the right are spare premium PSU cables, they're if you need to add additional drives or upgrade a GPU that requires more power connectors. I see you got upgraded premium sleeved cables so you will have more spare PSU cables than most. Definitely keep them.

The ones on the left I think are the standard cables that come with the PSU.

PSU cables are particular to the power supply model you have, you can't use a different models power supply cables with another power supply.

The tray type thing in the middle is a low profile PSU shroud cover that's part of the case.

Keep them all, you never know what upgrades you'll do in the future and it's always good having backups.

It's a shame you didn't get any advice on the build, there are a lot of things on there that don't make sense and a few bottlenecks.

Thanks for the reply i'll definatly keep all cables it seem dumb to just get rid of them and i did try to get advice on my build this is accually the secind one the first was way worse but thats part of building a pc i suppose not everything is going to be optimal

Only if you don't know what you're doing, the point is to get advice from those that do.

The system is only as good as it's weakest component, unfortunately there are a few you've selected that mean it's never going to be able to run to it's available performance. Plus you've hugely overspent in a few areas and could have had better performance at several hundred pounds less.

If you don't understand hardware, get advice for anyone else reading. The system needs to balance.
