I don't know if this is in the correct forum, but correct me if it's wrong.
So I feel my good ol' 939 system needs an overdue upgrade. With DDR, AGP, and 939 being phased out, I think its a good time to hop on the C2D bandwagon. This is what I'm currently looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813128042
and the MicronD9

Then either an E4300 or E6420.. but I'll worry about that later. I was looking at the mobo and realized it uses the 24-pin atx connector. My PSU only has the 20-pin. Even if theres some adapter or work-around for this, I'll run into the problem of having to get a PCIe power adapter also. I would love to keep this PSU if theres anyway. I have another thought lurking in the back of my mind, and that is to buy the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813157107
and keep my ram and videocard, since that mobo uses the 20-pin atx connector. I would like to just go ahead and jump straight into C2D the right way, but I'm not sure which path is better. Any ideas?
