Well you need a 24 pin main and at least a 4 pin cpu but if you have a 4+4 or a 8 pin(EPS) cpu then I would use it but it is really there for the extra power needed by a Quad core cpu.

I'm guessing if you have the 4+4 or 8 pin then you have the 24 and not a 20 pin main.

1 Other thing I don't know what video card you have but a 430w is small for that set up even if you had integrated (which the board doesn't)
