Self build noob!

[HappyFool]

This has been really unhelpful.

For the third time: I cannot ask anyone for help as I do not live near anyone that can help. Please take that as fact.

I'll figure this out on my own.

About rambling threads and painful to watch: you guys can go congratulate yourselves on your amazing computer skills. I'll go and learn by myself.

* Reguardless of what you think, we have been trying to help you.
* There seems to be some sort of disconnect between our advice and the implementation.
* I understand that building gets frustrating at times. But snipping back at people that are trying to help, isn't productive.

We've asked you before to take a picture of ALL (every single one), the connectors coming out of your PS...
Please, help us help you.

I'm not sure this page will help OP find his missing connectors, but it could work as a reference so that we're all talking about the same thing:

All about the various PC power supply cables and connectors

QFT. If you want accurate help you're going to need to do some legwork. It's not that we're trying to be obtuse, it's that your post really doesn't make sense to an experienced builder. It's illogical that a recently purchased PSU would come without SATA power cables, especially when it's sold as a SATA power supply.

So, as Blain said, if your case really came without any SATA power cables the next step is to contact whoever sold you the case/PSU and inform them that the product description was inaccurate and you want a replacement.

In order for us to help you determine whether or not that's necessary, it would be indescribably helpful to see some pictures of the entire bundle of cords coming out of the PSU.

For future reference, don't buy case and PSU bundles. Regardless what we determine about the cables coming out of the unit, I'll bet dollars to donuts it's a low-quality unit that doesn't put out 400W continuous, let alone 500.

Were providing you help, but it seems like you dont know what you are missing yourself. We've shown you the molex to sata adapter, the black piece is the sata power plug. Does your motherboard have any plugs that look like that??

If not, your power supply was specified as having sata plugs, so you need to call store you bought it from or the company that manufactures your case, and tell them they shipped the wrong Power Supply. I take it you're young since you stated you don't know what to do or what to tell them.

Take your PSU to a computer or electronic store. Ask an employee in the computer section if you have the right connectors and what do you need. OR TAKE PICTURES SO WE CAN SEE WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT. The specs you posted gave little to no insight to us, or this problem would be solved.

Yes, you have dived into the deep end with no swimming skills. Hopefully you will read and study before you jump into anything.

Also, as a hint in order to prevent even more troublesome problems in the future, it is very recommended you spend money on a decent power supply so that your presumably generic and crappy one doesn't one day crap out and take half of your system with it. A power supply is an important part of the computer, rarely use the ones that come with the case as they tend to be crap.

A good one is http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817341010 for only $45 after rebates, or if you dislike rebates
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817151039 is good for only 55$.

These would also solve your connector problems.
