I'm building my first PC, and I'm totally lost on how to connect all the cords to my power supply. I have a Corsair RM850x PSU, an AMD Ryzen B650 motherboard, and an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU. The power supply came with about 10 cords, and I'm not sure which ones I need to use or where each one goes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated; I think this is the last thing I need to do before I can finally get my PC up and running!

You’ll want to find that big 24-pin ATX connector for your motherboard—it usually goes in on the right side. Near the CPU, you should see an 8-pin EPS connector that might separate into two 4-pin connectors. Your GPU needs multiple 8-pin PCIe power plugs, so make sure each is plugged in correctly—ideally using separate cables!
Sorry if this is a bit basic! Just to clarify: CPU is AMD Ryzen 7, GPU is Radeon RX 7900 XT, motherboard is B650 gaming gigabyte, and I have the RM850x PSU. Am I missing something?
