I just finished building my first ever PC and I booted it up and installed windows with no problems. When I booted it up I installed the wifi driver for my motherboard and then immediately installed the nvidea Gforce experience and had it install all the drivers for my graphics card. When I installed league of legends and jumped into a game I was getting 20 fps on max settings and 30 on min settings. The specs on my PC are as follows.

Specs:
TUF H370-Pro Motherboard
EVGA Gforce 160 Gaming ACX 2.0 Video card
Team Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin
Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores
EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3, 80 Plus Gold 550W
Seagate 2TB BarraCuda Harddrive
ADATA SU800 128GB 3D-NAND SSD

Any help would be greatly appreciated I am totally lost.

Have you installed any other games other than lol? If so do they have performance issues?
Or it might just be the game. I'd fiddle around with graphics options to see what causes it.

You could try a benchmark tool for your gpu like furmark. If it manages to utilize the gpu fully, then you should probably look into your game profile.
Also, you could try switching your power plan from balanced to high performance.
Assuming that you have windows 10, you should take a look at the installed drivers, in case of conflicting drivers.
Finally, make sure you haven't accidentally plugged the monitor to the integrated gpu port rather than the 1060.

Ok so the cable that connects to my monitor isn’t plugged into my graphics card it is plugged into the port connected to my mother board. My graphics card doesn’t have a place to plug it into, there is only one possible place to plug it in and the cable that my monitor had doesn’t connect to it, it doesn’t fit.

I'm guessing your monitor is relatively old and it uses a vga or a dvi-a cable. Your GPU should support (DisplayPort, Dvi-d, hdmi) In that case look for cable converters, or a newer monitor.
Edit: Fyi, you cannot use your gpu unless you plug a diplay directly to it.
