Howdy.

You should be able to get away with only plugging one 4-pin in and it does not matter which one you use on the board.
You will only need the extra power if you intend to do overclocking.

yes you can but then no overcloing, so pick a I5 with no K at the end.
I don't remember wich side but look at the links More about and you'l find the answer.

So technicly i can power up with 4-pin connector from my psu it's not goin to be any porblem ,and no i don't plan to overclock,
first i will trow a i3 -3220 cpu and after i will add the i5 -3570k,so the 8 pin power connectior is ONLY FOR OVERCLOCKING=MORE POWER,right ? Or ?,so is it goin to start is it goin to make me problems on any kind ,i mean the Mobo like not starting or things like that because of a full 8 pin connector,or ?

You will be fine with only a 4-pin connector with either of the cpu's you have chosen.
