I'm trying to get power from my corsair cv550 to my asrock b450m pro 4 and I'm confused on what these cords do

Those are molex connectors. 

Sorry I'm kind of looking like an idiot here this is my first build also where would I plug the molex connectors in to power my case?

They are old format power connectors pre SATA for HDD and Optical Disc drives, maybe floppies too if I remember correctly. They are there now purely as a legacy connector just in case

So they are basically useless as of now?

There are some fan/rgb controllers that use them I think but in general yes
