Oddly there is a 4 pin molex, but it's underneath the last pci-e slot near the bottom edge of the board (edge furthers from the CPU socket)

Maybe they had to move it out of the way for all the extra gubbins on the x79?

Ahhh never noticed it. Rules that out then

Okay guys I have ordered the Seasonic X-760. It should be here by tomorrow. I would test it with the setup and keep you guys updated. Thanks for all your help!

don't bother with the UPS. Me and my housemates have them becuase the house keeps tripping and it certainly doesn't seem to help!

Okay guys, I got the new PSU yesterday, and it didn't help either. MB kept on going the loop of starting up for three seconds and then cutting off the power. It was not dripping the MCB though. I did some research and apparently this MSI board seem to be having some problem. I have been asked by the seller to send MB, CPU and RAM for RMA.

Thank you for your help guys. I just want this thing to start up!!!
