You have plenty of motherboard SATA connectors, but only 2 that are 6GB/s..so plug the SSD and the new HDD into them...plug the optical drive and old HDD into the SATA 3GB/s connectors

Check your motherboard box first, they usually ship with some. If not, then yeah, best Buy will probably have them.
