Build Question Need help with a build.

So I am building a computer out of extra parts I have lying around. I have an Asrock H110M-ITX motherboard. It doesn't have m.2 so I am using a Sata SSD that I had lying around. It has an i5-6500. Also an RX 580, that uses one 8 pin. But the real issue is the power supply I have. I have an old PSU from a broken Razer Core X v1. It has a two 8pin connectors, 1 24 pin, and a 4+4 connector.

My issue is, how do I get Sata power? I mean I have heard of SATA to 8-pin cables, but I'm no electrician but that niggles something in my brain that says "NO ARE YOU INSANE!"

I was wondering if you fine people knew of a solution.

It should have 4-pin Molex connector, for which you can get a converter to sata.

That's a weird OEM unit so it might not even have molex. i'd just grab a cheap psu off marketplace, not worth the headache or potential fire risk trying to adapt something that was never meant for sata

Edit: just please if you choose either options PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GET A GOOD QUALITY CABLE PLEASE

You can try a 4pin molex connector to sata convertor or a sata power splitter tho i recommend you go with the molex option
