hi, i have received 2 supernova g2's, 5 sapphire 280x vapor tri-x's an asrock h81 pro btc mobo, 5 (powered) usb risers, and the rest.

asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81%20Pro%20BTC/index.nl.asp

I'm thinking of using one supernova for three 280x's and the other for two 280x's and the mobo with everything attached. This system is for mining and i want to set it up for optimal mining performance, the vapor tri-x has two 8 pin slot, will i get better performance if i use 2x 8 pin than 1x 8 pin and 6 pin?

Between the supernova's, the mobo and the gpu's, i don't know which cables go where. I don't want to mess this up, please help me out, sharing any part that you are certain of will help.

    Most power supplies are labeled now so the cables can be even for the load on the specific rails. But just match up the ports for what you need. Easy

    Your video card requires 2 8pin PCIe power input, the SuperNova 1300 G2 comes with 6 8pin PCIe power input, so you can power 3 video cards with 1 G2.
    The best thing to do to calculate your power requirement, is try this website -

    Do not plug the 6pin PSU power into the 8pin slot for the video card.

    The evga 1300g2 is a single rail design so load doesn't need to be balanced across rails
