Need Help building PC!! Please

Hi, i've decided to build my very first PC, i'm doing what i can from Linus' videos along with a few others, but i have a few cables that came with the case and i'm not sure where to connect them to. I don't know if i need different adapters etc. in order to get everything connected, or if i'm just a bit of an idiot. My build is:

 

Case: GameMax Demolition RGB

Motherboard:  MSI B450 Tomahawk B450 Max

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF (Using stock cooler)

RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury RGB 3200mhz DDR4

SSD: Crucial P1 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe

GPU: AMD Radeon RX580 8GB (MSI Armor version)

PSU: Seasonic Core GM 500W 80+ Gold

Fans: 2 Corsair CO-9005039-WW ML Series 120mm 

 

I hope the images I've attached are clear enough in order for someone to help me out. The images without captions came with my power supply. The 

I appreciate any and all help.

Also please excuse my dirty hands, I'm just after finishing work.

The one with with 3 pin holes and a fake one is a 3 pin rgb cable the one on top of it with 4 pin holes is female molex. The rgb needs to connect to your motherboard for rgb control and the molex needs to be plugged into molex power so your splitter can be powered.

 

 The next image is some male molex, you will plug that into the molex on the first image.

 

the next 2 images are sata, you won’t need those unless you have a hard drive or a sata ssd.

I cant seem to find a 3 pin rgb connector on my motherboard, im assuming that ill need a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter (if one exists) in order to connect it? Also i believe all of the molex connectors are the same?
