Sounds like you should have started with a bit simpler rig for the first build. In the 1st pic you are holding the audio cable from the headphone/mic ports on the case. That cable should plug into AAFP header on the bottom of the MB.

The 2nd pick shows you holding what appears to be the fan connections from your case's fan controller. You will want to plug your case fans into those if you want the fan controller to regulate the fans' speeds.

The 3rd pic is kinda blurry, but it appears to show you holding...

(1) The USB 3.0 cable from the case's front USB 3.0 port(s). That is the one with the blue end. It goes to the USB 3.0 header on the MB... but I don't think that MB has a 3.0 header. You'll want to get a 3.0 to 2.0 USB...

You'll want to get a 3.0 to 2.0 USB adapter and plug it into your USB 2.0 header on the MB. EX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201039

(2) The other cable in that pic, looks to be the Molex connector that you want to plug into any 4 pin aux power Molex from the PSU to feed the fan controller.
