Thanks guys, gonna be nice to finally step up from my old Socket 754 system.

Building my new rig and need a little help. I have a Corsair 520 PSU. In addition to the 24-pin main power connector it has a 4-pin 12V and an EPS12V connector. My MSI P6N SLI Platinum has an 8-pin socket with a removable plastic plug over 4 pins. This is identified in the manual as a 12V...
