What is the model of your motherboard?

VincentP :

Manufacturer Product SerialNumber Version
LENOVO ES13093539 31900058 STD or WIN

Well, considering you have a Haswell based system there, you more than likely have SATA-3 ports.
It is possible that you have a few older SATA-2 ports and it is difficult to tell as finding out which chipset this board has is very difficult indeed.

im kinda worried because I just ordered this http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-Savage-SHSS37A-240G/dp/B00W35L5S6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 and im not sure if it's going to be the right sata port.

That tells me it is an OEM system from Lenovo, not much else.
If it is a standard SATA connector, then SATA-6Gbps or SATA-3Gbps.
It doesn't make much difference really, unless you have a high end SSD.
Mechanical hard drives won't get near 3Gbps transfer rates and the ports and drives are backwards compatible.

Sata3 drives can work on Sata2 interfaces, what is affected is the maximum data transfer speeds.

You should be fine to install that SSD.

Anderson_6 :

The drive will work with a SATA-3Gbps connector or SATA-6Gbps connector. You will have compatible ports on your motherboard.

According to this web page (based on the Lenovo Model 10181 shown by CPU Z)

http://shop.lenovo.com/il/en/tech-specs/desktops/lenovo-k450e/

all of that Lenovo line (including yours with the i5 CPU) has four SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports on the mobo, plus one eSATA 3.0 Gb/s port. Any of the four mobo SATA ports will handle the SSD properly.
