Like those on the top, what do they help me with for the fans?


This? If so noting to do with the Fans, just other connector that need to be connected
Also all the Cables to the Front of the Case are Marked
Like USB (Black) USB 3 (Blue)
Audio
The Front (Panel Connectors) has a few Power Reset HD LED +Power and -Power
The Video show this well.
 
How many are you putting this computer together?

We just call then Fan Connector but yes they are also Molex type connectors.
For me the one on the far right is Molex

 
You have 3-Pin Fan Connectors that will connect to the Motherboard if long enough.
Looking at your Motherboard now and will post back, you can move on to the other steps in the Video.

You can use the Fan Headers that are in the Blue Rectangles
What are you using for your CPU Cooler?

 
 
If the Cables are not Long enough you can buy Extenders or use another source.
But with only a 1060 in that case you should not get to hot using only one of the Front Fans for now.

Then it would be a Box Intel Fan.
So then this means you can also use the Pump Fan Heard at the Upper Right side of the Motherboard PUMP_FAN1 that is.

This really is not the best way to build your first computer, it really helps to have someone with you that has build a few themselves to walk other through their First. Sorry I cannot provide that for you here on the Forums.

Of course I understand, but since I am already deep into the process, can I at least see if I can successfully fix the fan powering problem? I am just wondering, since I dont have the 4 pin molex, do I put the two 3-pin molex's into which parts of the motherboard?

Please call it a Fan Connector, no need to add Molex.
Where it says FAN 1 and FAN 2

So do I plug in both the molexs into both the fan 1 and 2? And lastly, What do I do with the molexs connected to the power supply? they also need to be connected dont they?

If you are talking about the Fan Connecter (molexs) then yes the ones I marked in Blue FAN 1 and FAN 2 on the Image.
 
From the Power Supply
If you have no Device that need a 4-Pin Molex Power Connector then you would not use them.

Thank you so much for all your help! One last thing... System Fan 2 is taken already by the fan in the back of the PC, so can i connect the Fan Connectors to SYS_Fan1 and SYS_Fan3?

Yes you have two more at the bottom of the MB you can use.
 
SYS_Fan4 is in the Middle of the MB and can be used for the Rear Fan as well.
