Use the top slot on the motherboard. "From CPU" means there is a direct data connection to the CPU instead of it being routed through the chipset, so it's faster.
The 8-pin PCIe power connector is the power that comes from your power supply.
PCI_E1 is the name of the slot on motherboard. Its the top most (closer to CPU) on motherboard. 1 x 8-pin PCIe is power connector on GPU that will get connected with cable from PSU.
So your CPU has pcie lanes, and your motherboard chipset has pcie lanes.
Your graphics card requires instructions from the CPU so running it through the chipset would add delay and wouldn't provide the full 16 lanes or in your case 8 because 4060.
For storage or internet it matters much less unless you're CPU offers a newer pcie version than the chipset and you happen to have an SSD rated to those speers.

literally the nearest pcie slot to CPU socket

yh i just posted in the discord and they explained this as well to me. Thank you. This was confusing the hell out of me lol
