Cables
The Corsair AX1200 individually sleeved modular cables will be the best bet for PSU custom cables. They are simpler, turn out cheaper than buying individual extensions, and don't add any possible weaker links in the chain of power that extensions do.
That takes care of the power cables so all that's left are the internal connector cables, i.e. Power/reset pins, internal USB headers , fan headers, and SATA cables. After a bit of research, Bitfenix makes an Alchemy line of cables that are all sleeved and has all the above covered.
Fans
All fans need to be pushing decent air as well as remaining as quiet as the other components I have chosen. A great resource I found was this MASSIVE roundup review of chassis fans: 393 Case Fans Reviewed
Nexus Real Silent Case Fan 120mm Black/White would make a suitable black and white fan to use for the case interior where LED lights aren't needed.
Nexus Silent Fan White LED 120mm would be the perfect window fan as it is transparent and lights up white. The PWM version is also tempting.
Xigmatek XAF-F145x as the PWM intake fan would be ideal if the NZXT Havik's speed adjustments match it as they seem to be identical in design and may be from the same OEM. There are a few different versions. The main ones of interest are the 1451 - Black, 1452 - Black with white fan, and 1454 - Transparent black with white LED.
These fans should be more than enough to keep my system cool using the positive flow diagram previously referred to, whilst also keeping noise to a minimum wherever possible. They'd also provide ample lighting for the inside of the case.
