Thanks! Another question that I feel you'd be able to answer... Do I have to plug the GTX 980 ACX 2.0 into somewhere on the motherboard? If so where?

 


Thanks but what I meant is the two 6 pin connectors, where should I plug those in if needed?

 


The two 6 pin connectors go from your power supply to the graphics card
 


Gonna go ahead and guess there's supposed to be cables coming out of the PSU for that? Any chance you could link me a photo from google or some crap of what they are supposed to look like?

 


You don't plug the 6 pins from the PSU to the GPU you plug the thick 4 prong things into the things from the GPU to the PSU I think...

Basically I'm saying it's not direct from PSU to GPU 6 pin connection.
