I'm building my first PC and I've screwed everything in and all that.... I've assembled the motherboard, connected my graphics card to the motherboard, and put in the RAM, but now I've installed my power source and I have no idea where to put any of the cables!!! Could someone please help me? Here are my specs:

Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX
Thermaltake Commander G41
ZOTAC ZT-70406-10P GeForce GTX 760 4GB
ASUS H81M-K Motherboard
HyperX Fury Black Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 (two of them)
Intel Core i5-4430 Haswell Quad-Core 3.0GHz Processor
EVGA 600B Bronze Power Supply

I'm really, really sorry if this is all a big, jumbled mess. I just need someone to tell me where to connect all of the cables. Also, I apologize in advance for how stupid I am.

You'll have a large 24 pin connector off the PSU that plugs into the mobo along with a 8Pin connector to mobo (it's often two four pins that are side by side, then there should be a pair of 6+2 pin cables - those plug into your GPU, the squarish flat power connectors are to your drives....this isn't your, but might help

This guide has a pretty solid pictorial on what sort of connectors go where starting at step seven. In general, power connections are designed to be hard to put in wrong, so if it isn't going in, chances are something's turned wrong.

First of all, you're not stupid. We must all learn at some point. Now it's your turn.

Read your motherboard and power supply manuals! They'll explain in detail of where everything goes. How did you know how to install the components into the motherboard. Did you read the manual? :)
