How do I power this rgb led?

RecyclingBin

So I recently changed my case to one with a window and I wanna be do some light shows and stuff in the case. But I have no idea how to power this thing:http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00KUTTWFK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1451233093&sr=8-2π=SY200_QL40&keywords=Rgb+led. My power supply is an EVGA supernova GS 550w fully modular one, if that matters. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

It comes with a traditional power supply from the wall. You have to make a custom cable by purchasing a type l male connector and a female molex cable and wire them together
