Hi all

Finally built my first pc but with the graphics card i have installed the power supply (6 pin) into the psu but there was also a small 2 pin attachment. Is this suppose to go somewhere?

No, that adapter would only be used if you needed an 8 pin power connector. You're fine to just connect the 6 pin and leave those two dangling if you want.
