Hello, so I'm building my first desktop with modular cables, 2070 super, and a ryzen 3900x, I am having trouble figuring out which cables to use. I have one 8 pin that is labeled cpu so I will run that to the mobo for extra power I assume. Now I have two 8 pins on the graphics car but the only cables that I have are weird ones that I'll list below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move the plug already on the card to the connector on the left, then the plug on the same cable goes into the connector on the right. Done.

You'll want to connect the 8-pin EPS CPU power connector to the 8-pin socket near the CPU on your motherboard, and connect the 8-pin PCIe power connectors (sometimes labelled VGA by some PCU manufacturers) to the 8-pin sockets on your GPU. These plugs should be keyed so they only fit where they're supposed to go, so if they don't insert easily, double check that you've got the right cables.
