Hi, I am making a new Gaming PC and I bought a MSI MPOWER MAX and noticed while installing the PSU, that it had a PCI-E slot on the Mobo? Do I need to plug my PSU into this? If I do, I will not have enough wires to connect my Palit Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 Jetstream 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card.

The 6 pin, and 6 + 2 pin connector connect to you're GPU. The power connectors on the Motherboard should be CPU power, but usually there aren't that many. You might want to watch a review on the Motherboard to see if someone else can tell you.

Jeez, the PSU has a PCI-E cable. The cable has two 2-Pin and 2-6 pin connectors. Do I need to plus one of them into the MOBO or do I just plug all of them into the PCIE?

The 6 + 2 pin cable is the one you plug into the GPU. Could you link the PSU?
