It is a copy and paste so apologies for any useless text. There is an arrow by the PSU.
 
tbh, i probably wont be upgrading mine for a while, and when i do, depending on how much i like AMD, I'll probably be going back to intel/nvidia, i also might be better off financially, so will just get a whole new build, i plan on this one lasting a couple of years, the only reason i got this one is because my current computer is coming 7 years old and is well, supposed to be for a business person. This is going to be my first time building though. I've gone for the one in the first link, I don't mind the extra bit of money.
