Ok, I just got a MS-6734 Micro ATX Motherboard for my computer since my old motherboard is pretty crappy. I also got a 1.6GHz AMD CPU for it.

So I install the CPU and the fan. Then I took out the old motherboard, put the new one in, and to my dismay, some parts wouldn't fit. Well, just the LED lights (I believe). So my first question is, if I leave those unplugged (the LED lights) would the computer still work?

Next I noticed I didn't have a 12V thing on my power supply (it's a square with 4 pins). So I'm assuming thats the reason why it didn't turn on. So I'm thinking about getting this. But before I do, I want to make sure that's the problem, and not something else.

The things that are circled are the ones that I'm missing.

*sigh*

Help :\
