WIll my 20pin 430w enermax work with my new p5b?

[TP]

I am having some difficulty determining if I need a new PSU or not. I am actually out of town, and my upgrade parts came in from newegg yesterday, so I only had a couple of hours to try and get it running. I got it together and the blue led came on in the mobo, but no post. I ran out of time before I had to go, and still am unable to tell from the manual if the P5B deluxe really takes my 20 pin atx psu or not (it's a 24pin, and the manual is vague about whether it will take 20pin or not). Any advice is much appreciated... I won't be home til tuesday so if I need another psu, at least I can get one ordered.

Here are my parts:
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 65nm - 2.13GHz LGA775 Model#BX80557E6400
Motherboard - ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA775 Intel P965 Express ATX
Memory - G.SKILL 2GB (2x1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ

HDD#2 - Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6B200R0 200GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 - 16MB

Bonus question: If you think I need a psu, what one around $50 would you recommend? Thanks

I was just about to ask, basically this same question. I'm currently using a 20-pin Antec 380w, with my a8n-sli-deluxe (24-pins .. using upper 20 pins) ..

I'm wanting to make the c2d upgrade, but a new PSU kinda breaks the budget =)

But I'm unsure if you can do that with the new 775 boards or not...

You will be fine for now but eventually you will want to upgrade the video card right? If you have that $50 then it may be a good idea to go ahead and upgrade the PSU.

Here is a list of some good PSUs.

I would go with the AX400 from FSP.

None of Antecs earlier models would be worth keeping to use with that motherboard. Especialy if its a Smartpower Model.
