can you guys help me find the appropriate power supply for this board as I'm having no luck finding one with a 8 pin 12v plug. All the power supplies have 4 pin 12v plugs. Can I use an adapter to convert from 4 to 8? Also, what's the power rating that I can use? Many thanks. I live in the UK, so if it's possible, in GBP please for any suggestions!

Corsair cx430 has an 8 pin cpu connection, actually a lot of good power supplies do since you need it for overclocking. Providing you don't have a high end video card, the 430 will do fine.
 
Can you provide a link to the case or give me the model number of the case? An atx power supply will fit in most micro atx cases.
 
I use that board. My PSU is a three year old Antec EarthWatts 430D and it has an 8-pin CPU power plug. I'd be surprised if most modern PSUs didn't have an 8-pin CPU plug.
 
You can use an adapter, a lot of the time you can also just use the 4 pin plug leaving the other 4 pins on the connector unoccupied.

As stated though, most modern/new ones that aren't of bottom-bin quality come with an 8 pin connector out of the box.
