Does anyone know anywhere to get 8 pin connector for their motherboard

It's usually on the top left side of your motherboard and should be included on your PSU, often labeled as 'EPS'.  It is entirely possible your PSU only has a 4 pin EPS connector and as such would likely not give enough power to a higher end CPU.

You need to plug on the motherboard only the one 8 pin connector, don't worry about the second

Most do, but some lower wattage units only have a 4 pin.

Every quality 450W+ unit should have one, but if you want recommendations on a PSU, feel free to post your full system specs and possibly place to buy them from (in case you're from a region with a smaller market of PSU's).

That PSU has an 8 PIN and a 4+4 pin (one 8 pin can be divided into two 4 pins, the other is just an 8 pin all the time):

You don’t need both 8pin connectors. One will be enough unless you want to do some extreme overlooking using LN2 or whatnotnwhatnot

You don’t need two 8 pin eps. One is sufficient. Unless you are looking into LN2/ extreme over clocking

It has 8 6+2 pin (sometimes called 8 pin) PCIE connectors for videocards.
