So I was building my new PC today.
I thought I was going to use my old power supply...but maybe not.
It is a 550watt Thermaltake.
It has a 20 pin connector to the motherboard and another 4 pin connector.
The new Asus motherboard has a 24 pin connector and another 4.
Is there an adapter I can use?
Or do I need to get a whole new power supply?

You can plug in a 20-pin into the 24-pin slot. Or, alternatively, you can get an adapter to make it work (NewEgg is where I got the last one). Or go ahead and pony up for teh new POWRRR supply.
