I am soon to build a new PC, it is my first build, and I have a few questions surrounding my motherboard. I filled in the PC specs in my profile, so please refer to that as necessary.

My board is the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and with it came an orange, rectangular cable with NVIDIA, ASUS, and SLI printed on the front.

In addition, there are two tan-colored, rectangular pieces with long pins sticking out. Each side of each piece has different writing on it as well.

Any information on where to plug these into on the motherboard, what they do, or any guides that give this info is welcomed and thanked.

The brown one is a SLI bridge. It goes between your two video cards to bridge them together. You don't need it unless you plan on using two vid cards in SLI.
The two white one's are header adapters. You'll probably never use them.

The two white ones are handy to use as they make connecting wires easy when the Motherboard is already mounted in the case.
Simply connect all necessary wires to those blocks, then push the block in place on the Motherboard in the appropriate place.
