Hey guys, I just got all the parts to my computer and this PSU

It has so much wiring I am not sure what to connect...

1- I know I connect the 24 pin to the MB and then I'm sorta confused...

2- I have 2 SATA drives (HD and DVD-ROM) so do I connect the cords from the PSU to the both of those? I see the SATA connectors but there is 2 on the same wire...does it matter which is connected?

3- I have to connect the fan power connector to the MB...what about the CPU power connector 4-pin and 8-pin? Does it depend on the MB to only connect 1 or do i connect both? I do not know about the 4-pin molex power connector... (i am using this MB)

4- I have a geforce 8800gt which has an power cord that attaches to the 6-pin PCIe power connected on the side of the GPU...do i plug that into the GPU and then both (Power Connector)
3 pin connectors to the PSU?

Is there anything else that needs to be connected?

Any help would be appreciated thanks :)

1-The 24pin power connector is only going to plug in one way. Don't try to force anything though.

2-It's OK to use two seta power connectors on the same wire with your HDD and DVD-ROM.

3-With the board you posted, you only need to use the 4 pin connection.

4-If your PSU has a dedicated 6pin(PCI-e) connection, only use that to plug into your 8800. If your PSU doesn't have a dedicated connection, then use the 2 molex(4pin) that splits off into 1 PCI-e connection that came with the card.

I think that's it. If I missed something my apologies.
