Hello, I hav a Dell XPS 720 and me, being an idiot did not even think of remembering where my psu cables went into the mobo. I have a usb (power?) cable. I already read the users manual multiple times (only got the 24 pin and 20 pin in) and still cant figure it out. if anyone could make a diagram for me or help me put my cables where they need to be that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
motherboard power
20 or 24 pin connector. Usually on the right side of the motherboard.
Cpu power
4 or 8 connector. It will either be a solid 8 pin or split into 4 and 4. It usually is in the upper left portion of the motherboard.

Gpu connectors
Either a solid 6, 8, 6+2 or none at all.

Sata power thin L shaped connector goes to each hdd and dvd rom
 
I dont know where to plug my psu cables in to my mobo, I have the users manual but it doesnt help much, the only plugs i got in successfuly are the 24 and 20 pin, but i still have a few more cables on my psu that I think I need to plug in. My psu is the Dell MG309 and comes with:

(1) 24-pin ATX Connector
(1) 20-pin ATX Connector
(1) 6-Pin Dell Proprietery Connector
(2) 6-pin PCI-E Connectors
(2) IDE Connectors
(6) SATA Power Connectors
I dont know where the proprietary connector goes or the IDE connecter and I also have a double ended usb power cord?
Here is the users manual
