I assume you have a CX750M, in which case it is just a matter of swapping out the cables that you currently have hooked up to it with the ones you just ordered. Your power supply comes with a hardwired 8 pin EPS cable, and spots for 2 PCI-e cables, or since they were nice with their pinout, an ATX 4+4 or EPS 8 pin cable.

You can disconnect the hardwired one and plug the 8 pin EPS cable in your set into one of the PCI-e slots on the PSU and the other end into the spot near the CPU.

Note for those who come later - DO NOT DO THIS! Unless you have a CXM series PSU most of them have different pin outs for their EPS and PCI-e connectors, Corsair was just nice enough to make it so this one didn't. This is the one exception!
