Your PSU actually has an 8-pin EPS power connector instead of a 4-pin ATX12V connector. Split it in half (don't worry, it's designed for this) and you get the ATX12V connector you need.

Your power supply also has 2 PCI-E connectors that are also 8-pin, however those are 6+2 connectors. When combined together, they look very similar, but break down differently.

From Corsair's Power Supplies FAQs:

Q - Where’s the 4-pin EPS/ATX 12v connector that I need for my motherboard?

A - Our power supplies ship with an 8-pin connector that splits in half. Use half of this connector for the 4-pin EPS/ATX 12v connector on your motherboard
