I have replaced my PSU for an ANTEC EDGE 650W, full modular. but I have some questions on what I have to conect.
This is the conections on the PSU http://img.conseil-config.com/2014/12/Antec_Edge_650_cote2.jpg

This is my computer:
Motherboard: Asus Z87-C
GPU: GTX 760
1 HDD
1SDD
1 CD/DVD

Motherboard:
- For the 24pin, Antec comes with a conector with 18pin & 10pin - 24 pin. Do i need to conect 24 pin to my motherboard, and 18 pin and 10 pin to PSU, or I have to choose one of them (18 or 10pin)? (top left and bottom left from the picture of the psu)

- For the 8 pin (CPU I think) , where should i conect the cable?

GPU:
- I need to conect it with 2x 6 pin. Where should I place the conectors on the PSU?

SDD, HDD, CD/DVD:
- I think i have to conect all of them in the different 5 pin.

Srry for my english, and i hope it will be easy to understand

Thanks!

- For the Motherboard (24 pin)
 
the 12v2 i assume would be for your pci express , the four connectors to the top right next to MB would obviously be for your hdd s ssd s opical drives ... i'm not sure what the +12v1 connector is for , maybe a variation of the smaller motherboard connector that is usually on a corner ...
 
srry, i tried to find it on the manual but it says nothing about where to conect them. I found some connections and i end up in one single question.
8 pin CPU in +12V1 and 8pin GPU in +12V2, or both in +12V2?

p.d: i'm glad to know that my english is not bad as i tought, but i usually do more mistakes
