Yes to the sata.

 

GPU should be 8-pin (with 2 pins detachable)

 

CPU 1 is the 8-pin

I don't want to say for sure, as I don't have the parts in front of me.  2 cables go into the motherboard.  One up by the left of the CPU socket.  One by the right side near the middle or RAM (24 pin).

The cables in the Mobo package are not power, they are data.

this is weird so when i put the psu in the case with fan facing down the screws holes dont match and the eco on and off is upside down but if put the fan facing up holes lines up and eco on and off right is correct. I though fan suppose to face down? hence the filter on the bottom/

Ugh, it is designed for a top mount... rig it.  Either make new screw holes or find a way to secure it.  You want the fan downward... but I guess you have have it upward.  Your choice...if you have it upward, it will act as an exhaust.

Okay, so...

 

You need the "Motherboard" cable into the PSU, that goes to the motherboard.  That is just for the one 24-pin, by the RAM.

 

You need one of the CPU (does not matter #1 or #2), that goes into the motherboard... up on the left by the CPU socket.

 

Now the VGA, you might only need one.  Find the cable itself and see how many PCI-E plugs there are.  If it splits to two (per cable), then you only need one VGA.  If the VGA cable only has one PCI-E plug (per cable), then you will need two VGA.

 

And lastly Sata.  You might only need one Sata into the Power Supply as it will split and reach both your drives.

I see, okay so far i have installed the psu, mobo and cpu into the case. Now im installing cpu fan next. Corsair h50 it comes with a back plate that goes on back of mobo where the cpu is at but this x99x killer has no 4 holes to mount this backplate. Btw these little node standing on the mobo doesnt seem striaght, some slightly tilted.

I don't think you need the back-plate.  The mobo has 4 threaded holes already, just attach the cooler to those.

 

Those "nodes", do you mean the Stand-offs on the case?  ...where the mobo sits on?  Makes sure the motherboard is not flexed, it has to be flat.

X99 is 2011-3.  What they were saying was that H50s made before the first 2011 socket might not have the bracket for 2011 or 2011-3.  Does yours have it specified on the box?

? what happened

 

1.  You have to contact Corsair and ask (beg) them for a bracket.

 

2.  Return the H50 and find either and H50, H55, or H60 with 2011-3 socket support.

 

I don't recommend trying to "rig" the cooler.  It really has to sit properly.

Sorry I did not spot that.  I know how it is to want to get your build up and running.  :(
