I just bought an Antec C5 case that comes with seven fans, and I didn't want to spend extra on fans. However, I'm really confused by all the cables and how to connect them to my motherboard (ASUS B850-E Gaming WiFi). Plus, I have an AIO cooler to connect too, so I'm feeling a bit lost. Can someone help me figure this out? Maybe a walkthrough on Discord would be awesome!

It sounds like you might need a fan hub to simplify things. Since your case has a lot of fans, it can get overwhelming with all the cables. A fan hub will let you connect multiple fans to it and then just plug the hub into one of the fan headers on your motherboard.
Check your motherboard because it probably has multiple fan headers. You should plug the AIO into the CPU fan header as per your manual. For the rest of the case fans, you can use a fan hub and connect them there before plugging the hub into any of the system fan ports on your board.
I think I saw that your case comes with a fan hub, but if all the slots are full, you may need to look for one that has more connectors.
