Yes because it sounds like your putting a 8 pin gpu connector in, rather than an 8 pin CPU connector

I'd still try building it out of the case to rule out a short between the motherboard and case. Failing that it would likely be, as mentioned by someone else, an issue with the PSU or motherboard.
EDIT: Or, as Armageus says, maybe the wrong connector

If your PSU doesn't have a 4+4-Pin ATX12V/EPS12V power cable you need a new PSU. Do you have another 4-pin power cable? One that seems to pair with the other 4 pin power cable? Then try that. But really, that is very likely to be a dreadful PSU and you are risking all your other components for the sake of £50 or so.

With your post count should you not be getting free P&P?
Edit DOH! Am guessing this was for OPs benefit not your own. Sorry silly me.
Free delivery doesn't always apply up here in Aberdeen.
