So I just realized that my motherboard only has a 4 pin power connector. Is this going to be a problem for me? Here is what my rig looks like (parts already purchased and coming):

i5-3470
motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130655
psu - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151106
7850 1GB
2x4GB ddr3 1600 Corsair Vengeance

I do not plan on overclocking, but I plan to run some pretty cpu invensive games on high settings. Am i in trouble? Do I have to buy an adapter or a different motherboard?

Thanks

PS - I know the PSU is overkill...it was on sale cheap.

Edit - I'm concerned because I bought a low end board and I see most other boards have an 8 pin power connector instead of a 4 pin. Just wanting to make sure my cpu will run fine under heavy load and that my psu will be able to connect to it.

Thanks for the input. So I'm assuming this means that my cpu will have enough power with only a 4 pin connection? Why does 8 pin exist? Who needs 8 pins?
