[SOLVED] Build

Just ordered a new motherboard A320 A Pro Max and a Ryzen 5 3600 processor. I’m trying to install it and have it screwed into the case. What’s troubling is trying to figure out what wires go to what. I have a Power SW connector but that is all, in videos I’ve watched the user had many other types so I’m unsure if that’s an issue even though for the e previous motherboard that was the only power related connector used. Has yet to power on since the switch.

The following are power connections wired in the computer.
UEFI boot does not reset per se. all you need is the power switch.

Front panel stuff:
Power switch - needed!
Reset switch - optional
Led switch - optional
Usb ports - optional
Disk connection - optional
Audio - optional

Internal:
24 pin power cable - needed!
Cpu power - needed!
Seperate graphics card Power 6/8 pin Needed if installed!
Hard disks all need a sata power connection and a data connection if installed- needed!
DVD - same connections as a disk.

My motherboard came with 2 SATA cables and one was already in the PC. There’s only one port in the hard drive so do I only need one SATA cable?

Disk drive requires power and a connection to MB. If no other drives are used then you have a spare cable.

Thank you helps a lot! I thought with all of the SATA cables I’d need 3/4 plugged in even with only 1 port somehow lol.
