It's an Aurora R6. All wiring has been completely replaced. I should note, the motherboard has a connector for gpu power directly attached. That was used for my old 1050. I'm not using it with my new card. If I'm supposed to hook the new card up to it, I have no idea how to connect the wiring to the card, as the pci-e cable is already running from the card to the new power source.
I have the 4 pinned cable running from the power source to the correct slot on the motherboard. I don't have any cables that have an 8 pinned plug that will fit both in the power source and the GPU_PWR slot.
The original power source has a GPU_PWR cable attached to the 24 pin ATX cable. The new power source only has a single 24 pin cable.
Alright, problem solved. I had the new 24 pin plug attached directly to the motherboard. I needed to pull the splice from the original plug (which includes the GPU_PWR connector) off the old PSU... if that makes any sense, then attach the new 24 pin plug to the splice. Also, I didn't realize that I slightly damaged the new SATA connector at the point where it plugs into the HD. Luckily my new PSU came with six of those things. Sorry again for the noobness.

Is this an Aurora-R6 or Area51-R6 ?
If you installed an after-market PS, you also have to replace the wiring harness.
Install original video card, or maybe remove all of them and try on-board video.
Make as minimal-config as possible and see if something still works.

1. OK and good.
2. Yes, that is the problem. The 4-pin CPU Power Cable plug goes near the CPU.
The 8-pin CPU Power Cable plug goes to that socket called GPU-PWR. It's keyed, so pretty sure only the correct plug will fit in it.
PCIe Power Cables are a different thing. They only connect directly to the edge of video cards themselves.

Sorry for my extreme noobness...
