Your card does not need those cables connected to work. The spdif is and audio cable and the other one is for grounding. If you really want to connect them (although you don´t need to) there should be both connections on the mb exactly with the same names. The spdif can connect directly to your sound card if you have one. That spdif cable works alone. No GND needed.

I don´t know which Mb or graphic card you have. Anyway the only necessary cables to connect to your graphic card is a 8pin power cable or eventualay another 6/8 pin power cable if you have a monster GPU that connect directly to your Power Supply. But many graphic cards don´t need anything connected to them. Just insert it firmly in the slot, screw the screw(s) on the back of the case and you´re set.
That spdif cable is an audio cable in case you want sound to go through your graphic card. If you connect it to a TV for example. For a normal monitor you don´t need to connect anything unless it needs extra power.

That photo is kind of blurry. One cannot read what is written on the cables or the MB. What graphic card is that btw? And model of the MB?

those are speaker/sound related and have nothing to do with a gpu


consult your motherboard guide for specifics


post a better picture, and for god's sake dont put the camera so close


upload the pictures to imgur and post the links
