In the title of the item it says "extension cable." Does that mean the original cable that is currently plugged into the GPU just gets tucked into the back of the case? Does that mess with performance in anyway? Sorry for all these questions, I don'e even know how i managed building the the thing in the first place haha.

If you're extending a power cable, it won't effect performance. If you were extending a cable for drive, it could effect read a write speeds and possible make it a little more risky when it comes to losing data (please correct me if I'm wrong). 

Current Build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 // Mobo: Ryzen AM4 B350 GAMING PLUS ATX // RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz // GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB // SSD: Kingston A400 120GB // HDD: 3 x WD Blue 1TB // PSU: Corsair 650M // Case: Corsair 450D // Monitor: LG Ultrawide 29" IPS

 

Plex Server:

CPU: AMD FX 8350 Black Edition // Mobo: Gigabyte - GA-78LMT-USB3 R2 Micro ATX // RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz // GPU: GeForce GTX 670 // HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB // PSU: Kolink Core Series 500W 80 Plus Certified // Case: AVP Viper Mini Tower

So is the cable circled in red above only for power then?
