Hi, I recently started a PC build and decided to try and save some money and look at a couple of used parts. So I went on Craigslist and picked up a pair of Dell 20" monitors for $50. However, we got to talking and the guy also had a nice 750w modular PSU. I ended up buying it for $25 and felt pretty good about the purchase. It wasn't until I got home that I realized it was fully modular and some cables were missing.
There's no SATA power cables and no 4-pin ATX for the CPU. Since this is a budget build, I don't mind doing some splicing/soldering. My question is: can a molex connection power a CPU if I match the pins up correctly? I have an older, non-modular PSU to work with. I just don't want to spend any more money on additional connectors.
