+1 That is a good guide and step 8 shows clearly where to make all the power connections.

Basically you need to connect the PSU to the:

- motherboard 20/24 pin power connection
- motherboard 8 pin power connection
- graphics card - 6 or 8 pin power connections (connect up whatever your graphics card has)
- hard drive SATA power connection (or a molex connection if your HDD is an older IDE model)
- DVD drive SATA power connection (or a molex connection if your DVD drive is an older IDE model)

If you can tell us your full spec we should be able to point out exactly what you need to connect to the PSU.
 
well got it all done eventually cheers guys for the info but i keep getting probs when installing win7 64 on to the new hdd a seagate 500 gig as its asking for a driver at the set up process as it cant see the drive but the bios sees the hdd and i set it up so the dvd loads first to install os but zippo so i tried a old sata disk 120 gigs i obtained this seagate hdd from a old bt box lol and it loaded up all fine os but only 120 gigs but theres a 500 gig there so id prefer the bigger capacity hdd sorry guys but i dont wanna mess things up with my new build so im being ultra carefull lol so psu working now but the hdd that came with the set up win7 cant see it as i said it asks for driver at win set up cheers all. sorry the 500 gig is the same make as the 120 gig seagate hdd

They ask for raid driver install usually, just ignore it. If not that then can u tell us exactly what it says.
