I ordered a Asus Radeon HD 7770 2gb and I do not have anymore PCI-E power slots... I only have 1 SATA power cable free... If I connect a splitter and connect a 2x SATA to a PCI-e converter to it, will it work?

Which make and model of power supply do you have?

You'll likely only need one PCIe power cable from the supply and they won't be used anywhere else in the system. If the power supply doesn't have one it might be time for a new one.

Depending on the model of Coolermaster power supply it could have the correct cables or not. You don't need more wattage for that card as its not a high end card at all. This should come with all the cables you need at a really good price.

It looks like it doesn't... I need something that connects to a gigabyte motherboard and a SATA drive and SATA powered hardrive

It will, the CX430M is a hybrid modular unit. That means the two cables permanently attached to it plug into the motherboard ONLY.

You then get various cable runs with SATA power, Molex and PCIe power connectors.

Do not plug power connectors into those headers. Power from the PSU will travel to the motherboard via the two fixed cables on the PSU, then it will travel from the board to whichever components need it.

You will plug your front headphone/speaker cables into F_Audio and if you have USB 3.0 on the front of the case (the blue usb ports) then you'll plug that cable into the motherboard where it says F_USB3.
