New Build Troubles

Hello All,
I'm unable to power my new system. I might have the wrong power supply. On my motherboard I have ATX_12v_2x4 but the power supply type is ATX 12v. On the motherboard there are 8 pins but I can't find any connectors that can fit in to those pins. Please assist.

AMD Phenom II 3.0 GHz
Gigabyte MA770T-UD 3P, DDR3
Apecvia power supply

Thank you all.

An exact model/link to your PSU would help.

Apevia power supplies are poor quality. You need an ATX 2.x power supply that also supports EPS to get the 8 pin connector. Return the Apevia and buy a proper unit. What are you using for a video card?
