i recently picked up one of these PSU's
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152042

and i am looking at picking up an asus p8z77-v LE motherboard, combined with an intel i5 2500k cpu.

my problem is that the connectors on the psu above dont seem to match the cpu power socket on the motherboard, yet i see reveiws saying they're using the combination of this psu with motherboards that have the exact same socket configuration as the p8z77-v LE.

will i need to get a different power supply, or will it work with that board?
 
Solution
It will work:
Board:
1 x 24-pin EATX Power connector(s)
1 x 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector(s)
PSU:
1 x M/B 20+4 PIN = 24-pin
1 x CPU 4+4 PIN = 8-pin

The 20+4 can be connected together to one 24-pin board connector, or separately, for some boards that have a 20-pin connector. The same for 4+4.

i'm aware of that, but one of the 4 pin connectors looks like it wont fit into the socket

one of them looks like that, which will fit in just fine
