hi guys its my first time building a pc and all has been good until i got the the power supply theres 2 cables which im unsure about.

these two:

what are these for? im guessing ones for the motherboard and ones for graphics card? but which is which and which goes here:

thanks and sorry about my dumbness

the 6pin goes to a graphics card.

some motherboards have a 4pin near the cpu socket, some have a 8pin socket, put the two 4pins above together and fit em in.

kk but the on the 2 4 pins theres only 2 like squared plugs and on the mobo theres 4? does it matter?

shouldnt matter, the pin with the angle edges should slide happily into the square hole.
