Hi guys,

I need quick information on how to connect PSU to GPU with Pci e cable because one one cable there is fixed extension for other GPU does it matter on which one I plug my GPU on first from PSU or second from PSU and for sata cable on which one do I plug SSD and HDD on first and second or last and before one. And does it matter on which sata port on mobo I connect SSD and HDD, because all are sata 3 ports but Sata3_1,2,3,4,5 and Does it need to go on 1 and 2 or it doesn't matter. 

I need this quick!!!

TNX!

I'm not too sure what you're asking for the gpu...

 

As for ssd and hdd, it doesn't matter which ports you plug them into.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
