So my power supper is XFX bronze semi modular PSU, I have thick cables going from rear end, PCIE (seperates in two small PCIE 8 each, 6+2) a 24 pin connector I think and another solo eight pin.

Now there are all plugs in at the bottom back of PSU. (PCIE/CPU) and Peripheral IED/SATA, should I be connection tonne of extra extensions in the box I got into these before setting up PSU or leave them alone, hard to reach once in.

1 x fixed 20+4pin Main Connector....Motherboard POWER
1 x fixed 4+4pin ATX 12V/EPS 12V......CPU POWER
2 x fixed 6+2pin PCI-E ......Graphics card
2 x modular 6+2pin PCI-E.......Can be used for additional cards
1 x modular 8pin EPS 12V.......also additional cpu power if needed most don't
1 x modular FDD......floppy not needed
Up to 5 x modular Peripheral...fans sometimes if not enough headers on the board , although , i prefer fan splitters , older drives etc
Up to 8 x modular SATA........optical drives and ssd , Hard drives....

Only use the amount you need to keep it tidy.

Thanks, just one more thing should I set up my two hardrive top or bottom or cage drive (three intake fans), NZXT H440. Also for the hardrive splitter connection does it matter if 2/3 of the connection ends are used only?

Just to make sure SATA wire after being plugged in PSU the other end splits into several drive connections (one with four endings, other with two) the endings not being used just hang in the case, if I understood correctly.

Thanks again !
