cables Help with cables...

[Walt]

Hi eveyone,

I'm building a game pc and really need help with the cables. Can someone help me and tell me which cables from which components need to put in where? I know it's a complex question but I hope someone can help me.  

 

My components:

CPU: intel core i5 7600K

CPU cooler: NZXT kraken x41

Motherboard: asus ROG strix Z270F

GPU: asus ROG strix 1060 OC 6GB

RAM: Corsair vengeance lpx 3200MHz 16Gb

SSD: Samsung 960 evo m.2

HDD: wd 1TB 7200RPM

PSU: corsair RM650x

Case: NZXT h440 RAZER edition

 

Thanks!

24pin ATX should be obvious, there's only one place that it will fit, on the right side of the motherboard. 

 

 

8pin EPS cable goes to the CPU power connector on the montherboard in the top left. (the 8pin EPS cable is a 4+4pin split cable on the RM650x)

 

One 8 pin PCIe connector for the GPU (RM650x uses 6+2pin split PCIe cables)

 

SATA power for HDD. 

 

SATA Data for HDD, plugging into the right hand side of the board. 

 

NZXT Kraken X41 just uses a fan header. Plug it into the CPU_Fan header or labelled similar, will be close to the CPU socket. 

 

SSD plugs into the M.2 Slot on the board. 

 

Labelled your board for you:

 

 

For the most part, if something isn't meant to be plugged in somewhere, it won't fit. PC connectors are basically adult LEGOs. On the PSU end, things should be labelled clearly. The connectors are also designed in a way to prevent things from being plugged in the wrong socket.

This is by fare the best explanation i could get. Thanks you!!!
