Your motherboard will come with some sata data cables and your power supply should have sata power.

Yep! The MOBO will include the SATA cables used to connect the HDD to the MOBO. But, you'll need to make sure you have the PSU cable for the HDD power.

You need a Sata III(3) cable to connect it to the motherboard, and sata power which should be on your PSU.

No such thing as a SATA III cable. It's just a SATA cable.

I hadn't realised i put that :P i did an amazon search for sata cable, was going to get him a link for what he'd need and saw the first item as "SATA III Cable, CableCreation [2-Pack]" 

I guess i typed what i'd read, derp.

There only SATA cable that it. But find out where the SATA 3 ports are on your motherboard and run the cable from the SDD to the SATA 3 port.
