You are going to need a 20 pin power conector for that build. You also might need a mATX PSU but i am not sure about what size of case you have. But other than that you are ready to go.

No, that motherboard has a 24 pin power connector so it needs a ATX 2.0 power supply.

Why do you say he might need a mATX power supply? The motherboard he linked to is a full sized standard ATX motherboard so he can use a standard ATX 2.0 power supply and he'll need a standard sized ATX case, not a mATX case.

SReynolds014: Are you upgrading the computer in your sig? Or are you building a new computer?

If you're building a new computer can you give us the "wish list" for the parts you plan to use so we can make a good recommendation on the power supply.
