hey everyone, i bought a new cpu a week back and i have no idea where i should install my Sapphire hd 7950 3gb, and which 2 cables i should install in my gpu from my psu
i think 2 cables might be the ones with names PCI-E on it, do i have to install these 2 cables of the same name

if the cable from psu is PCI-E, can these be from one wire or another wire

my motherboard

there are 3 ports as you all can see, blue one under gigabyte name, small white one under cmos battery or the last one under name PCI Express 3.0

which one??

my specs
i5 3570k
gigabyte ga z77m d3h
8gb ram
PSU- Corsair cx600w

It is the one on the far right, closest to your CPU/RAM

I realize that, but all of them have the same appearance there are different speeds and stuff of each one that it will tell you in the manual. I'm downloading your manual now, will tell you in a minute or two

so the one below gigabyte name and my mobo name, blue one
what about the cables that i have to connect to
does these 2 wires are different, i mean come out from psu separately or these are the same wire and i can connect them from one end only(one wire has 3 ports to connect)

That depends on your Video card so I'm not sure, just plug in to whatever fits and see if it works is the old fashion way of doing it xD
