Ugh bad news..its 2x 6 pin connector. What can I do?

I think the 6pin as well as the 8 pin connection carry both 3x 12V. So that should be fine. Adapters are cheap.

I found an extra 2 pin! Any idea what the ssd takes? I'm looking and it seems like I have 1 extra 2 pin and 2 extra 6pins. Also, what kind of data cable should I buy? I made sure I have 1 extra port on my mobo, and there is a spot for a fan on the front....I haven't messed with fans much, do I put exhaust or intake? I'm not sure if that's a dumb question :D

That PC has an FSP PSU which is OK but not the best. The new GPU will have a 6 to 8 pin adapter for the power. Also, if you don't have an extra SATA power plug, they're flat and kind of wide, you can use a molex to SATA adapter.

No that would be a molex. You need an adapter

Looks like it. Look at the other side of the cage as well.
