Dash, seriously?

Didn't you go to college? There are manuals, the internet, and common sense. If you read the specs on the parts you bought, you should be able to figure out what you need to connect them.

Your PSU should have some 6-pin leads that plug right into your video card, you don't have to use the adapters that came with the video card (which are using up four of your 4-pin PSU molexes). Since your PSU is modular, you may have to look through the pack of cables that came with it to find the 6 pin leads and plug them into the PSU and then to the video card.

The Monitor plugs into the video card...why else would you use a discrete video card if not to use it for video

I told you in a PM, but IDE is OLD technology. Most Optical Drives, hard Drives, etc will use the SATA interface. The cables are small, skinny, have the L shaped connection and usually a red, orange, or yellow color. Several should have come with your motherboard. This part makes me question if you actually watched the video, they never discuss anything with IDE, both the Optical and HDD's they used require SATA.

Some ideas on how to do some cable management in an Antec 300 (protip, typing things like "Antec 300 Cable Management" in google yields a lot of results similar to this one...):

And about cable management....

Zip Ties, routing cables behind the motherboard, hiding them in or behind the CD Drive and HDD bays etc.

It's worth the time and effort as it will improve airflow and just looks a damn sight better.

I hope it runs SC2 like butter. Enjoy.
