Read the motherboard manual. it shows where each can connect.
1 usb 3.0 header. black block next to the main 24-pin power connector on the edge of the board. header has only 19 pins.
2 fan extension cable/or fan controller.
3 molex connector. older hard drives and Cd-rom drives were powered by this before the SATA power connection may also power lights and pumps for water coolers
4 USB, along the bottom edge of the board there are two headers with USB on them, pick one.
5 front audio headphone and microphone jacks. find the word tomahawk, draw a line through the word and the plug along the bottom edge near the line is where this goes
6 the manual for the motherboard has the specifics, but starting at the front audio connector they plug...

THANKS A TON but when I try to plug in #5 to the spot you said (and the manual says) I cant get it to go fully in? I dont want to force it so much that one of the pins break, what should I do?

[strike]there are two different standards for front audio connections, ac97 and HDAudio. the plugs are close but will not work for each other. I am guessing that your case does not have a double headed plug like this (https://images.bjorn3d.com/Material/revimages/case/sansungalaxy/audio.jpg) in which case you need to ID the plug you have and get an adapter like this (http://www.apevia.com/images/products/CVTHD97-1_500.jpg) it could be the other way around but I think this is the trouble you are having. ][/strike]
having just read the manual for both the case (pg12) and motherboard (pg 35) they are both HDAudio standard and it should plug in there
