Is this PicoPSU-Setup able to power my new PC?

I would like to power my new "micro PC" with a PicoPSU. But because of the pretty high power consumption of the PC I will need a 250W power supply. The only option for me seems to order these three products. Now my plan is to use the Adapter to connect both the PSU and the Laptop-Power-Supply to power my PC.
So, thats something Ive never seen before, and thats why I first of all wanna know, if that could work. Will the Adapter work for the high amount of electricity?

Thank you for your answers!

I, too, will be using a Pico PSU on my ITX build. I would be concerned that if you NEED 250W you are at the ragged edge if you PSU can only supply 250W. You might look into the 400W Pico PSU from HDPlex. It is a different form factor than the one you are looking at, but it would give you some margin between need and capacity!

Please tell me more about your build!
