Those are normal PSU connectors.

It needs two eight pin connectors though, which mans if you go dual CPU you need to get a server PSU or get some kind of splitter.

Either way you'll need a decent PSU.

 

Also FYI you'll also need windows 10 pro to use both CPUs, windows 10 home only supports a single CPU.

600W should be just fine.

As for RAM, I'm pretty sure you'll have to get ECC ram, which if you look hard enough on ebay, you can get 16GB for around $20.

Sounds great!

That's an amazing motherboard too, so you should be able to overclock your CPU if you want to.

 

Also, what are you planning on using as a CPU cooler?

Those look great, you might even be able to overclock a bit with them.
