VGA = usually the 6 pin adapter for your GPU (VGA stands for video graphics adapter in this case)

CPU = the... 26 24 pin you put in your motherboard I think. This is not the same as the mb connector.

you mean 24? :S

or do you mean 2+6 because isnt the CPU powered by an 8-pin, which would actually just be that an 8-pin, or a 4+4 pin, and the 2+6 is just another VGA connector. 

Don't fail me now as i've failed you then.

Yeah I meant 24, that was why I had the dots behind the 26 because I really was not sure how much it was :P

Thanks for correcting me, appreciate it!

All connectors on the psu can only go to a certain component that you have. So if it does not fit, it means that that connector is not for that device, so don't force it in. The connector itself will also have labels on it, that says what it's for.

Main ATX = 24 or 20+4

EPS12v = 4, 8 or 4+4

PEG = 6, 8 or 6+2

SATA = L-shape power

Mole = D-shape power

Floppy = mini D- shape power
