Hello, I have a EVGA 430W 80 PLUS PSU and it comes with a PCI-E connector but there is no where to put it! I'm quite confused, I have a GeForce GTX 750Ti video card and a TPLink wireless adapter in the PCE-I ports.

On another note, the PSU also comes with a bunch of molex cables but I have no idea where to put them as all my fans have pins that can connect with the mobo.

And on an adjacent side-note (sorry..), I have an optical drive but am running my rig with an SSD and an HDD, SSD to store my OS and such and HDD to store everything else, but I don't have enough SATA cables for all of them as my mobo only came with two, is it possible for me to just connect the optical drive, install the OS on the SSD, then disconnect the optical drive and reconnect it to the HDD? I have no need for the optical drive after installing the OS.

Thanks!

Build:
Motherboard: ASRock H97M Pro4
Case: Thermaltake Versa H22
Video card: GeForce GTX 750Ti
PSU: EVGA 430W 80 PLUS
Processor: Intel i5-4690K 3.5 Ghz
 
Solution
Some gtx750tis have external pcie connectors. If yours doesn't, don't worry about the connector. 750ti's only use 60W which they can get through the pcie slot on the motherboard anyway.

Wow, thanks for the quick response! I'll just let it be, then. Any idea on the molex cables, though? I really don't wanna screw up my first build :s
