all my prior work on computer did not involve adding a motherboard or adding a new powersupply... My question is how can I turn the pwsupply connection so that it connects to the mobo. I do not want to put it on upside down or backwards... I gues that the real question is... the ground wire... Is it color coded (green for ground?)
or does the new powersupply come marked?

groo is right. The main power cable (and the +12v connector for your processor) can only go on one way. The pins have circle and square shaped plastic casing that won't fit if you try to put it on backwards.
