One cable for HDD, SSD and DVD should be enough, assuming it will reach. One for a fan controller as well? I guess if you end up needing more than 3 that's not the best choice then.

Yeah I'm not sure if it can reach, it says it only has 15cm between the connectors, and I think there's more space between it than that.
I don't need a fan controller, neither does the case have one, just need 4 connectors for all the fans.
Now to find another psu with more cables :P
Wasn't sure if you ended up picking the Fractal case (which comes with a fan controller) or not. Not sure how many fan connectors are on the motherboard but you should be able to add some of them there? I figured since you're "worried" about noise you would want a way of controlling those fans
I still think you should be fine with the Silverstone but maybe look at the OCZ MXSP 500/600 then? Or the Seasonic M12II 520/620.

No, as stubborn as I am, I'm still going with the Cooler Master HAF case
If I can put some of the fans on the motherboard then the problem would be solved and I could still use the Silverstone!
I plan on getting the MSI Z77A GD55, which ( on the official website of MSI ) mentions that it has 4 fan connectors?

Or are those the CPU fan connectors? :PInternal I/O Connectors
- ATX 24-Pin power connector
- 8-pin ATX 12V power connector
- CPU x 1 / System x 4 FAN connectors
....
They are indeed.
Hmm....it doesn't state any options for fans then..
I was looking at the Seasonic X-560 560W, and it looked amazing, has a lot of connectors, 90% efficiency, and quiet fan.
Then I looked at the price and went d'awwww
EDIT:
I found a nice PSU. It's the Nexus RX-5300, which is on the overclocker's list posted before, it's semi-modular, with only the motherboard and pci cables not being modular ( which doesnt matter since you need them anyway ), it's quiet, and it's not too expensive.
It has 6 available power connectors, so I should be fine there!

I just got some corsair stuff from work, a Corsair HX650, Corsair H100, and 8GB Corsair Vengeance memory.
Now the only parts I need are my case, motherboard and cpu
Just have to wait a bit longer for Ivy bridge...HHHHNNNNGGGGG
