Hey guys just need some help on connection wires to my gtx 760 on it there is a 8 pin and a 6 pin connector and I have two 6+2 pin connectors from my PSU so does that mean I need to connect one 6+2 connector to the 8 pin and one 6+2 pin connector to the 6 pin connector with two connectors hanging down?

And here is a wire from the front panel on my NZXT SOURCE 530 don't know where to plug it BTW front panel headphone is not working so this might be the one please help me I need to finish it!

Thanks!

No that is not for headphones. That is for a fan controller. You connect a fan to there.

FOr the GPU, use one 6-pin with the 2 extra pins not connected and hanging there and one 6+2 pin. Easy.

You're absolutely correct about the GPU power cables. That looks like a fan extension cable, not like a sound cable. The sound cable looks exactly like the USB 2.0 cable.

There is no single 6 pin connector what should I do?

The 8 pin can be split into a 6+2 pin. So you use the 6 pin and let the other 2 just hang there.

No of course not, that's why they're there. For compatibility! If you have a 8 pin connector, then it would only work for 8 pin gpu's. However if it is 6+2 pin you can use it for both 6 and 8 pin.

Nope, that's exactly how my GTX 760 is installed.
