It's fine. The 8 pin connector allows for more power, but that's only really a factor if you're heavily overclocking.

EDIT: However, using a cheap no-name power supply could eventually kill all of your other components. It's not a bad idea to replace it with a ~$30 name-brand unit, like EVGA or Seasonic.
