Your dvd rom drive requires a power connector from the power supply. All you do is insert the operating system install cd and follow the prompts, it will install for you. I would probably make 2 partitions on that drive, say 150 gb and then the balance for you personal data.
 
The motherboard doesn't have any power cables, all power cables come from the power supply. The only cables that come from the motherboard would be the data cables.

i have few cables that are marked PCI express,do you think they go to video card Pci express,do you know where i can find exacly print where all the cables has to go.
i have to figer that out tomorow.i was thinking the instruction will be with mother board or power suply,i ges i was wrong.

thanks snag
 
The hd6450 video card shouldn't require any pci express power cables because its a lowend card. The power cables are pretty self explanatory. I mean, if you aren't sure, ask a computer savvy friend to help you.

You'll need the 24 pin main connector attached to the motherboard along with an 8 pin cpu power connector to the motherboard. Then you'll need sata power connectors to the hard drive and dvd rom.

Edit: Scratch the 8 pin cpu power as the motherboard only has a 4pin cpu power connection.
