They are the 2 back squares on top and bottom next to power connectors and the chips that say magic 19 those will be your inductors so id say that cad has a 2+1 phase design vrm someone feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Anyone?

Yep you have circled the vram chips and the VRMs. The big black blocks are the chokes.

Make sure you use some strong thermal tape/pads, as the vrms get rather hot.

Everything you circled but the big blocks, those are the cards memory chips
