Need some advice on what to do for system fan connector

I bought a case with a system fan already in place. It has the power connector but my motherboard has a system fan connector. My fan has a large connector and my mobod has a small one. What can I do?
 
buy a molex to 3-pin adapter and plug the fan into your mobo or plug the system fan into a molex connector from your power supply.
 
This connector allows you to link with the cooling fan on the system case to help lower the case temp. I have a connector that fits the fan but I can't link it to the board unless I hook it up.
 
Do you think the fan that came with the case would be good enough that I should get a 4 to 3 pin adapter and hook to my motherboard or do you think it would be best to get a new fan that already has 3pins? If so what is the quietest fan I can get? That is my biggest concern is quiet.
