you could go with what @FoxxyRin said, or if you already have the RGB strip with the controller, what you would need to do, is find a molex male connector, find the 12v and the ground cable, the 12v one is usually yellow colored and the ground is black, and you'll need to cut the 12v Power cable that came with the RGB strip, and connect positive with the 12v yellow cable, and the ground to the ground cable. 

 

after that you'll need to install the white box some where so you can easily use the IR controller. and then just hook everything up and you should be good

That should have everything you need, and it's all pretty simple to set up. :)

it should be straight forward, just find where you want to put the LED strips, and connect the two with their connectors at each end, and find where to put the power box that has the receiver for the controller.
