Hey guys, so i just built my computer (my first build) and i think its ready for its first launch. Only thing holding me back is there are two cords that arent plugged into anything and i cant seem to find where they go (manual doesnt show). Here are some pictures of it so far, can you guys tell me if you see anything wrong before i plug it in? thanks!

If the extra cords are from the PSU you don't need to use them, they look like the ones that plug into GPUs. Just tuck them away and give it a boot up.

If they are from the Power Supply, then you won't need them as long as everything else is plugged in. Is your PSU non-modular, semi modular or fully modular?

Looks fine to me. Cant see the GPU but il assume thats in.

Also, you dont need to plug this in, its for if you need extra power for your onboard sound which you probably wont utilize.

Is your video cable plugged into your GPU? You may have it plugged into your motherboard.

And you might not have plugged in the rest of the fans either.

i was wondering, did i plug the GPU in right here? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
the GPU does power on tho, i see the MSI logo glowing
and also, i did plug the VGA and HDMI cable into the motherboard (where the IO shield is)
does it plugin where the graphics card is? i didnt plug it in there b/c it has a DVI connection and i dont have a dvi cord ;p

You will need to use a video cable that the GPU supports (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort)

And the 970 is passively cooled, so the fan will only come on when the GPU is hot enough for it to need the fan. Try gaming for a bit and you should see the GPU fan come on.
