Right now I have the antec powering my system, but I want to switch to a smaller one and make a compact case! I will be using the same motherboard w/ onboard graphics, same processor, 1 harddrive, 1 dvd burner & a fan or two. I have a Bestec model no. : ATX-1956D It is 200W max it only has 20 pins but I've read that it will work on a 24 pin as long as there aren't too many components. Please let me know if this PSU will work.

Will this PSU run my system?

Lock your other thread in the CPU subforum. No crossposting among multiple subforums is allowed here on the forums. Oh and to reiterate what I said in your other thread:
It's a Bestec PSU so no it won't be a good idea to use that with any system. Bestec are of extremely low quality incapable of providing their rated wattage cleanly and reliably. So considering that the PSU only has 12A on the +12V rail (meaning 144W of usable power for your system) and is of extremely questionable quality, I do not recommend using that PSU.

It won't.
