Sorry for this new question, but I havn't built a computer in ages. My 9600gso has a six prong power inlet, and my motherboard has no power outlet like that. Am I able to pick up an adapter for this, and if so could someone link me to the site?

No.
That's the PCI-E power connector. Your PSU is supposed to plug into that. If your PSU was made in the last few years, it should already have the aforementioned 6 pin connector. If your PSU doesn't have it, you can buy an adapter.

Most graphics cards come with an adapter for the older PSUs.
You might want to buy a newer PSU with a PCI-E power plug though, if you can.

Your graphics card manual will explain the power connections. You should know prior to using a graphics card that the motherboard does not provide a power outlet, that is what a power supply is for.
There are tons of great guides for building computers, if your mixed up with some things like power connectors you may want to review more before you continue. Dont want to put DDR3 into your DDR2 motherboard now

This is what you need from the PSU and like others say you can get a adaptor
