I may not have answered specifically in my last post.
Even if you did buy a 24 pin, they still work on a 20 pin, any powersupply in the link I sent you will work.....
When you buy a 24 pin, its 2 pieces, so if you have only a 20 pin board, you just dont connect the smaller, extra 4 pin adapter. Any "ATX" powersupply will work
300watts and up will do just fine...

If you not going to use a lot of fans and Graphics cards most any will work. Even with a SATA Hard Drive you may not need a SATA power cable if the Drive have both power connections. As stated 24 pin connector will break off to a 20 pin. 350-400 Watt probably fine. IF, you plan on using Dual Graphics and extra fans you may want to consider 600-650 Watt. Get a good brand.

is a good place to look as there are some customer reviews, not have to buy here, but, good to learn what you want.
At the bottom of the page is a Learning Center on power supplies that may help you.
