Yup. Unless you have a modular power supply, getting a cable off the internet and hacking it on is going to void your PSU warranty and probably cause you problems.

Side thing: A lot of people skimp on the PSU when building a PC but that's a really terrible idea-- a bad PSU will cause you nothing but issues down the road-- and possibly the rest of the components in your build. Get a nice, quality PSU and you'll never have to worry about it.
