The next thing you will have to do is to locate your power supply station in your motherboard. This is where you will have to place your power supply. If you do not know what it looks like, here's a picture for you to refer:

Note: Depends on what casing you bought, some power supply station is located at the bottom and some is located on the top..

Ok, so now all you have to do is get ready your screwdriver in one hand and the other hand for your power supply..LOL...i know this is tricky but there's no choice..

With the hand holding the power supply,bring it up to the station...make sure that ur power supply FAN is located downwards...now align the power supply accordingly to the screw holes located at the back of the casing.

Now take this sets of screws as shown below:
