Just solder the yellow wire to the positive and the black wire to the negative. Of course, if the LED strip doesn't have a current limiting resistor it will just burn up either the LED strip or the PSU or both.Possibly catching on fire and burning you and/or dripping melted plastic into the case and destroying your mobo which catches on fire and scares you so badly you run out the third floor door onto your balcony where the rail breaks, over you go, and that's all there is to it - bye, bye.

Since you admittedly don't know what you are doing, lol, why don't you take it to a shop?
