This is what im thinking about getting http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817103437 its a 24 pin PSU i have a 20 pin mobo will it work?
 
It will work, you just need to either run an adapter or remove the extra four-pin section (depends on the PSU). That Enermax does look quite expensive, even though it is only an ATX12V v1.2 compliant PSU. I would recommend the OCZ Powerstream 420W instead, as it is an ATX12V v1.3 Hybrid (more bias towards +12V) which will accomodate pretty much everything you have in your box.

That power supply is certainly more than you need... which is fine. Nothing wrong with that.

So why are you asking, because you need 20-pins and that one is 24?

If memory serves me correctly, Enermax power supplies come with an adapter.

But if your board has the clearance, try just plugging in the first 20-pins and leave the last four hanging off the edge of the connector. That's the preferred method for many.
