You're making this harder than it needs to be (as the Bishop said to the...).

The only connections you really need to check it's going to work (and get you into the BIOS) are:-

CPU fan to motherboard CPU header.

Two power connections to motherboard.

Power connections to GPU if required.

Case power switch header.

Worry about everything else once you know it'll boot.

okok lol Right I dont seem to have a speaker wire (orange) that goes next to hdd led and such

Should have I know. It was on the desk, I wasnt building anywhere near it, took it over to boot it up and the can fell off onto the top of it when i banged into the desk
