no that is atx power connector, on p4s you also need either a square 4 pin connector or a 6pin straight connector & they are usually white. go to the gogo site & click on that board, the 4 pin connector is just to the left & above the cpu & black bracket aound cpu

you need the square 4pin connector & should be by itself. look at the asus board & you'll see top of that connector

i dont know tho...im still not 100% sure on which motherboard would be best... because if i were to get
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1121369&sku=MBM-AS8-540
i would be getting a processor chip with it and they would be 775, were as if i were to get the motherboard and CPU seperate from gogo those being 478, they would be almost equal price to tigerdirects deal...
also, is it possible for the motherboard not to fit into my computer case, because the tigerdirect board looks a little big?

no, i think case is a clone which is good, more expandability than a name brand case
