Hi

I am in the process of buildign my first rig

I have a Asus z270 mobo and a CM Vanguard 1200w psu with 6x Sapphire RX570 ITX

I bought these risers https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B077K28B6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Gettign a lot of confusion on how to power the cards

I understand the best is to use 6 pin connector

So fro mthe PSU I power the mobo and the cards, correct?

Do i plug the cards like it says here?

From the PSU you power the MOBO the GPUs and the risers too, at the top of the GPUs you plug the 6+2 pin PCIe connectors and power the risers with the other 6-pin connector, if you can reach to them, or with the 4-pin Molex connectors, max. 2 per cable!! If its possible don't use the Sata-6 pin adapters to power the risers or max. 1 per cable...
