So I've bought an i5 4460, a motherboard GA-H97-HD3 and an 8 GB Ram and I thought of using my old PSU which is Seasonic S12II-380 bronze. Then I found out that my new motherboard needs a 2x4 ATX12V while my PSU only has 1 4pin ATX12V.

Does this mean I need to get a new PSU or is there another solution?

You can use the pins marked in manual for 2x2-pin ATX power supply.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

Adapter:
Rosewill 9.5" EPS 8-Pin Male to ATX 4-Pin Female Cable with Cable Sleeve

When you said to use pins marked for 2x2-pin, do you mean this part (in red box)?

So alternatively if I don't do the above method, I can buy the adapter and use that 2x2 into 2x4 adapter instead?
