Right.

Just taken delivery of New overclockersuk system - extreme gaming build. The GFX card has come uninstalled.

There are no clear instructions anywhere and I've never installed one before. It seems a bit odd that OCUK expect me to learn how to install a card using a Gainward gtx580 and a top of the line ASUS motherboard as my testing ground! :confused:

Anyone got any clear instructions on how to install it?

- Do I have to fiddle with the screws at the back of the case (Obsidian 650D)?
- How do I get the card into the motherboard without harming it?
- What are the two large cables hanging loose in the case for?
- What are the two large USB connections hanging loose at the back (external) of the case for?

Thanks for your help.
 
The catch could be the key. I think I missed that. The motherboard is an Asus P8Z68 DELUXE Intel Z68. GFX card is Gainward GTX 580.

One other thing, do I have to do anything with the screws that are on the empty backplate bit on the 650d?
