Hey, your parts came in, nice.

OK, your motherboard has two power connections, one 20/24 pin connection and one 4 pin connection.

Your graphics card looks like it has the correct 6-pin power connection. For your disc drive and hard drive, just connect a SATA power connection, should look like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ower_cable.jpg

From the picture where you circled some things, the one that's circled in dark blue that has blue and white wires is probably a front panel connection or a fan, just plug that into any of the molex connections, the ones that you drew a light blue arrow towards.

The smaller one that you've circled in red is a floppy disc drive connection. You won't be needing that since you don't have one, so just leave it tucked away with the rest of the unused connections.

Did you come across a problem? Or were you just unsure of what to do with the extra wires?

Yea, that one that you have circled needs a molex connection, any of the ones that you have will work. The ones that look like this.

You shouldn't need the floppy connection because you don't have a floppy disc drive.

If it won't start, check the switch in the back of the power supply, the one that looks like [I O], make sure the I is pushed in.
Double check to make sure all the connections are securely in.
