Ive read the manual but honestly they dont tell much at all...

I have 2x 2+2 connectors named "cpu" I have no idea where they go as shown:

do they go into the 8 hole slot next to the CPU itself as shown on the bottom left of the picture?

secondly where does this "vga" cable connect to?

do they connect to the GPU and if so do i connect a 3+3 pin connector to the other side that is left out as seen in this pic?:

Bonus Q, i have a molex cables, that branch into fans, and since One cable contains 2 molex, i was wondering if it was ok to leave one unused whilst the other remained branched in, it doesnt look neat but was wondering if it was safe to do so
 
Solution
the cpu cables go to the 8 pin power port there keyed so only one plug will fit in one side of the 8 pin connector. the vga is for gpu power those are 6 plus 2 cables. as your gpu has a 8 and a 6 pin port you need two vga cables. one to use all 8 pins and the other 6 pins and leave the other two pins hanging. any cables you dont need it be fine to use a plastic tye wrap and tye them to the case or out of the way.
