I have a core i3 4130, 750 ti, this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

8 gigs of ripjaws ram

So the case has two fans already and good airflow, this will be on a wood floor, not carpet. Wondering if a 300 watt would be ok (anything under 430 watt). I forgot to purchase from newegg(silly me) so I'm forced to buy at a store for higher prices. Also I won't be doing overclocking.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, this is my first build so... yeah!

Does the GeForce GTX 750 Ti card, that you have, require a 6-pin PCI Express power connector?

The system power supply, that you get, should have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 20 Amps or greater.

No, it doesn't require a power connector. I'm not exactly sure what you mean, would lower than 430 watts work or not?
