I ordered a seagate 1tb hardrive for my new pc. http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000DM003/dp/B005T3GRNW/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448996526&sr=1-3&keywords=1tb+hard+drive. I need to know if I need sata III cables or anything with this to connect it to my mobo? please link me the connector I will need. Thanks!

Your motherboard should have come with several cables for data and your power supply should have a few SATA power connectors. However for data you can use these:

If your short a SATA power adapter you can use power adapter to convert a molex to SATA;
