Re: do i use the 8-pin power connector or the 4-pin?

Using evga 730a mobo with onboard graphics, not video card, amd x2 7750 kuma 2.7Ghz 95w proc, 1sata hdd, two ide rom drives and 2x 2gigs of crucial pc2 6400 ram. Other than 2 front usb headers thats about it so the 430 antec comes in about 130 watts over what was recommended by a psu selection utility on newegg's site. Figured a good name psu is better than a marginal name with a higher number. If this will boot would it be sufficient to power with the adaptor plug from p4 to p8 which actually only makes available the p4 power across the entire p8 plugs range. Hope this clarification helps and thanks for your input.
