Yes power must go to all 8 pins or the motherboard will not boot
Antec 550+ might be the best deal for a power supply, although with only 1 video card-- :o you need 1000 watts for two video cards, or it is recommended.
Giga GA-MA790FXT-UD5P, Phenom II 945 X4, Gskill 4GB, Coolermaster, Sapphire HD4870, Velociraptor HDD, 7 fans, Antec 550+, Acer 24" LCD. "I tried Asus, then I bought a real motherboard."
