Here's the board from his computer. I can't find a picture of just the motherboard, but it looks like the front panel connectors are either just above the GPU or near the M.2 Drive. 

 

@Pc-Rookie Do you mind taking a picture of the connector on your motherboard?

Hi, I just bought a new case that comes with power switch, hdd led, reset sw and power led and that shit but my motherboard does not have a normal slot for the cables. Not sure if I have one at all. The only information I have is that it's a Lenovo board and its a mATX.  I have one with 13 pins but even if that's the right one how do I connect the cables?

Is the motherboard from a prebuilt Lenovo system?

If so, do you know the model? That will help a lot with figuring out the pinout. You can also look for small silk-screened text on the motherboard next to the connector.  

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Yes, The motherboard is from a pre-built pc. It's from a Lenovo legion y520 Tower.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It's a shame the image is too low res, at a glance it looks like that might be the HD_ Audio connector but I can't be certain
