Its the cable that goes from my power switch at the front of my tower to the motherboard.

The wires that have been cut, were meant to go to the motherboard. The switches on the front of the tower are 'Intelligent Touch System'

Could i just buy a litle black connector and re-wire it.

It could be awkward to find an exact match for the motherboard connector - I'd be very tempted to slide a short length of 'Heat-Shrink' tubing over each cable, then just neatly solder them back together - Once the solder's cooled and you've got a good smooth joint, slide the tubing over the joint and give a blat of heat (usually from the hottest setting of a hair-dryer) to shrink it tight, for insulation.

You could use vinyl electrical tape, but it doesn't look neat and the glue usually softens and loses its grip with any warmth.
