I am pretty lost as how to install this graphics card. This is my first build and from all the videos I've seen on computer builds, I haven't seen a GPU with this many things to connect. I have the GPU mentioned in the title, an ASRock z97 extreme 4 mobo, and the 600w semi modular bronze rated corsair PSU. Instructions on how to install this and which cords go where would be greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
The pci-e1power is for motherboards that require extra power to run the cards connected, which I have only seen this needed for 3 way SLI. You just want to hook up the 6 and the 8 (6 +2). Yes, hook up both ports on the GPU to the power supply.
The Card should push into the PCI-E 16x slot, and than it will have 1 or 2 6 or 8 pin connectors that go from your power supply to your card. Do not be afraid to push firmly, but do not be reckless. Make sure card is aligned properly and push firm.
 
It has a 6pin and and 8(6+2 maybe?), but there is also a lot on the motherboard that says PCIE1-PWR, and I'm not sure if I have to connect the GPU to that, or do both of the ports on the GPU connect to the PSU?
