Ok.......you have the manual still for the motherboard......right ? You have the directions with your new power supply.......right? It looks more daunting than it is. Start off with the cable with the largest connector. Should be a 24 pin connector for your motherboard. Plug it into the motherboard and then to the connector on the back of your psu. Next , hook up the 4 pin CPU power cable to the socket very close to your CPU. Connect the other end of the cable to the CPU connector on the back of your power supply. You have connectors on the back of your power supply for lots of Sata devices. This would be your hard drives, optical drives, Ssd drives, Ect.

You have connectors on the back of your power supply for lots of Sata devices. This would be your hard drives, optical drives, Ssd drives, Ect. Connector one sata cable to each of these devices with the requisite cable from the back of your psu. All of these cables mentioned thus far should have markings and they connect to the similar marked connections on the back of your psu. The last big item is to select the proper pin count connectors to your video card. The back of your power supply has markings called vga to ensure you are connecting them correctly. This should get you 90 percent home. Have fun and good luck.
