I am planning to buy the Logitech Z200 speakers and the Polk Audio PSW10 subwoofer, and I am unsure about how to connecting them to my pc. My sound card has 6 3.5mm plugs, including both a center/subwoofer out and line out. Do I just connect the Logitech z200 to the line out, and the subwoofer with 3.5mm cable to the subwoofer out? Or do I need other cables, or a completely different setup? Any help is appreciated.

Yep - line out to the Z200 and centre/subwoofer to the subbie.

Alright, but there are two inputs for the 3.5mm cable on the back of the subwoofer, labeled right and left. Into which one should the cable be plugged?

There's only one line that goes into a subwoofer. And a power line.

Yes I know, but do I need an RCA y-splitter for the L and R connections (there is no single LFE input), or can the cable be plugged into either the L or R line inputs?

A subwoofer with a L and R? That's weird. http://www.polkaudio.com/downloads/manual/PSW10_12_MN.p...

I gather you'll have to join them with a splitter.
