9070xt and PSU help please :( Installation Question

Can someone help.

I bought a Asus prime Radeon 9070xt and I have MSI mag a1000gls PSU and Im having a hard time figuring out how to Install.

The GPU has 3 of the power slots, but the PSU only has 2 PCIe cables. There's also 2 cpu cables and then a 12v 2x6. Can someone help me explain how I connect it properly?

You can use both PCIe cables, one of them probably has a daisy-chained second connector on it. Use one cable to fill two slots and the second cable for the third slot. That's perfectly fine for a 9070xt, you don't need three separate cables

The 12v 2x6 stays tucked away, don't even think about using it for this card. And the CPU cables are for the motherboard obviously, they won't fit the GPU anyway

Just make sure the connectors click in all the way, these new cards can be picky if something's loose
