So I want to put 4 fans in my case, but my mobo only has 3 fan headers. Can I just plug any fan into the PSU or do I need special connectors or different fans or something?
-Thanks!

No they don't. Simply put...

There is a limit to what that molex connection can power. Connecting 3 12V 120mm or 200mm fans would work fine. Connecting 3 48W high performance fans would be asking for trouble.
