Hi Shinez, welcome to the forum. That link doesn't work here, can you tell us the SKU # you're looking at? We can look it up from there.

Thank you for updating that Shinez. I recommend using the manual for your motherboard or other components to figure out which ports you should use. There are also a lot of Youtube videos that we've found to be particularly helpful for building systems. Which cables are you in particular having issues with? Feel free to send us a picture.

cables that are coming out of power source to mother board and graphic card, i have no idea which one i am suppose to connect them to

Hello Shinez!   


The two Cables outlined should run to the motherboard outlined in the image below.

The graphics card power supply cables will come from the power supply with the modular cables highlighted in the image below.

So, there are bunch of cables coming out from the case it-self.   Do you have any idea of where I'm suppose to plug those in to?

If you're referring to the small cables that are running from the front of the case, like this:


Those are the front panel connectors for the power button, power LED, etc... They plug into the PANEL connection on the bottom-right corner of your motherboard, which I've outlined in this picture:

The pins are labelled so you know which cable plugs into which, but it's kind of hard to see in the picture. Your motherboard manual should have a breakdown of which pin is which if you have trouble seeing it on the board.
