I'm looking at getting the Logitech z533 speakers (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Z623-Watt-Speaker-System/dp/B003VAHYTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510988106&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+z623) but I want to make sure I would have the correct connections and know what will work.
These are the inputs on the speaker: https://imgur.com/JlCe89b
And these are the audio jacks on my PC motherboard: https://imgur.com/zQQi3n9

I heard you shouldn't connect speakers to the PC headphone jack, currently on my older speakers i have one of these cables connecting them to the red and white audio jacks from the red jack from the motherboard. https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Mini-Plug-Computer-Stereo/dp/B000LMFS7M
Could I use a cable like that or could I even use one like this (https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B00NO73MUQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1510994394&sr=1-3&keywords=3.5+to+3.5&dpID=41VXocT-MNL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) from any of the motherboard jacks to the green port on the speaker?

Hopefully this makes sense and any info on what the best cable to connect the speakers would be great.
 
Solution
L-out stands for line level output so that is perfect for self powered speakers. Usually this is a lime green color rather than red. That's why the 3.5mm input jack on the speaker is green. It doesn't matter which cable you use.
