double check before you start that your PSU's wires are all 1:1 and dont split halfway down... I did this mistake with a semi-modular and almost wasted lotsa money :)

You can still do those you'll need to know how to solder though.

Yes, those are the correct terminals for the 24 pin,8 pin EPS and 6/8 pin GPU connectors.

You should not have to solder them as long as you use a crimper to crimp the terminals. 

 

A crimper can be found at many mod shops like frozencpu perfpc and others. However please read my FAQ that is linked in my sig to read up on crimpers before you purchase so you get a good one as it really does matter and you get what you pay for.
