Default Simple PSU/mobo question

Hey guys I have a simple question, if you don't mind answering.

I picked up a $20 Ultra PSU and it has a 20pin main connector. The mobo that I will use with the Ultra PSU needs a 24 pin connector. Is this a problem? I read back I think that I can purchase a 24 pin connector for the PSU (right?)...... is there anyway I can make the PSU work with the mobo?

This is the mobo I'm talking about

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Is that mobo PCI-E? If it is you'll need a new PS for sure. I don't know if they
sell 20 to 24 pin adapters or not. Personally I wouldn't use one if they did. In
the long run your better off spending a little more cash :-)

Spending 175$ on a motherboard and then powering it with a 20$ power supply is, well, how to put it politely...a "Poor" choice

Dude thank you so much! That is exactly what I was looking for!

Oh man everyone is bashing the Ultra PSU. I mean I saw it in the deals section and I felt like it was a good buy. M*Livvy and bigmoney love them, and also other people bought them so I'll take their feedback.

Thanks foe the help.

I love Ultra PSUs. I have one and have never had issues with it. Though my PSU is a discontinued model, I swear up and down by it.
