I was thinking I could get by with four because all I am running off of the board is the cpu http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=4501108 (A10-5800k) and ballistix low profile ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148658

Is that what the 8 pin connector is called? PCIE? I though that was a card slot.. Does the molex adapter come out to a 4 pin and then I plug both in, or would it adapt it to the 8 pin connector? As I understand it the 8 pin is just doubling up the wiring, right? I know from past experience god damned amd cpus are always power hungry whores ... it says 100w, but pffft
