I'm building a new PC using a 7800X3D processor on a B850 Aorus Elite WiFi7 motherboard, and I've picked out a 9070XT GPU that I haven't ordered yet. I'm thinking of using the ROG Thor 850W PSU from my old setup but would prefer not to buy new cables if they cost over 60 euros. The motherboard needs a 24-pin, an 8-pin, and a 4-pin connector. However, I can't seem to find any PSUs that come with a 4-pin connector as part of their setup. Plus, the GPU has three 8-pin connectors. Are there any PSUs that come with sleeved cables out of the box and have the right connectors for my build?

Unfortunately, you can't reuse the cables from your old PSU with a new one unless they are from the same series. If you mix them up, it can potentially damage your components. So, it's safest to stick with the original cables for your ROG Thor PSU.
Thanks for the heads up! Looks like I’ll have to consider investing in a new PSU if I want sleeved cables.
