trouble connecting wires in mobo

hi guys
this is my firs attempt building a pc, and im finding it really difficult especially, trying to connect everything to the motherboard.
this is the motherboard i currently have:
MSI 865PE neo2 platinum
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...il.php?UID=433

whats cauign the main problem is, the pc case i bought had tiny small 1 pin connectors at the front, from the usb, the power, restart and other buttons and light, and since the writing is soo small on my motherboard, im finding it so hard to undersatnd what goes where, and my manual for thr m/b is no use aswell.

has anyone encontered a similar motherboard before, anddo you know how to solve this,
and can anyone walk me through basically setting up the motherboard and what to do, when you swith on the pc for the first time...
--thank you for taking the time to read this.

they are always to small to read
i d/load the manuals and in acrobat i increase their size so that i can read them ok and print it off
then use a torch to help see what i am doing,i keep meaning to buy a pair of those magnifying goggles but have not got around to it
