Look at the bottom of your box, it should have pictures of the cables like this:

Here is a picture of your motherboard for reference:

- The LONG 24 pin connector (far left on PSU box) goes into the slot in the middle-right of the motherboard (far right).

- The solid 8-pin EPS connector (NOT the 6+2 PCIe!!) goes into the very top-left 8-pin slot of your motherboard to power your CPU. This is the connector just...

- The PCIe 6+2 connector is what you plug into your graphics card. Depending on the card you can plug two of these into the GPU.

- The long, flat, thin connectors are your SATA power (cable just to the right of the PCIe 6+2 on the box). These are used to power your DVD drives and Hard Drives.

-The thicker 4-pin MOLEX connectors are for legacy power. Some older fans and hard drives can still be powered by this, but you probably won't need it.

-The floppy pin (far right on the box) can be ignored...why people still add these to PSU's is beyond me. Used to power floppy drives.
