First time setting up a PC, require assistance with PSU cables.
Hey guys, i'm finally gonna build my pc
however i'm kinda scared i'm gonna ruin it with the PSU. I bought an XPG Core reactor gold 750w which is modular but i'm confused because the cables don't say which end goes to the PSU and which to the PC.

I was reading the manual and from what I see that's the order they go. My mobo is a a320mk which has 4-pin CPU connector, the usual 24 pin PSU and my GPU is an rx 6600 which only has a 8 pin connector
which one of the GPU connectors do I use?? there's a normal 6+2 and other one 6+2 but it splits and they're called the same
the direction of the connectors is right?
if my cpu connector is only 4 pin, which end do I grab since the cable splits in 2?
Also, can I use a single sata cable for a fan hub and 1 SSD?? because 1 cable has 4 connectors or should I plug 1 for each
The image you provided accurately shows the ends connecting to the PSU and their respective components. The 4pin EPS connector is keyed, so you can't force another end onto it. For the other cable, use the GPU connector—it's a standalone cable and not daisy-chained. Unless your GPU requires a daisy-chained setup. Also, consider using a single SATA cable for both the fan hub and the SSD, as one cable can handle multiple connectors. You may want to refer to the PCPartPicker link when planning your build.
In the diagram, the sections that feed into the components show the connector names at their ends that link to the components.
The connectors on the ends of the PSU connections lack labels since they aren't standardized.
