Question Help, new to water cooling

A 3950x with a pre-installed water cooler showed up and I have questions.

1) My Antec 900 case has 2 gromited round holes presumably for the hoses but I'd need to remove the hoses to poke em through the holes. That seems messy...

2) there are wires I don't know what to do with.

My biggest PS is a 750w Antec Earthwatts EA750. The EA650 650w ps would be easier to use.

The "new" goods:

Have you read the directions? If you do not have them, they can be downloaded from the manufacturer's websites.
 
The case openings are for external rads, not an AIO.

You will need to read the instructions in order to determine what the wires are for.

The PSU you use will depend on the overall power draw of your computer, mainly your cpu and gpu.

No, I was hoping someone would recognize the parts cause I don't know what all this stuff is. I didn't buy it, a buddy sent it as you see it. The CPU is a 3950x and the GPU will be a GTX 1070 for now, an RTX 3070 ti someday. Don't know about the other parts.

I'll try harder to figure out what the parts are. Gonna need to know all those front panel headers ...
 
There were some concerns with the water cooler but I'm going to use it anyway. Feel better about it after watching a few videos. The instructions were not clear at all plus I'm using the case flat but I think I understand now that the pump needs to be the low point.
 
I changed my mind again. Those stiff hoses and lack of a suitable mounting location makes the water cooler too much trouble. Gonna order a simple air cooler...
