Well will the connectors work? The actual size will fit, i was wondering about the connectors. My motherboard has a 24pin and the power supply has 20pin with a 4pin to make 24. The actual size of the connector is just a tiny bit smaller. Dont want to force the plug.

I just looked up the specs for your motherboard which is actually an ASUS A8M2N-LA model. For some unknown reason HP changed the model name to NodusM3-GL8E. It definitely has a standard 24 pin power connector and a standard 4 pin power connector on the motherboard. No problem.

The power supply also has standard power cables. Also no problem.

Just wanted to make sure, i did try it out earlier but could not seem to fit. Ill have to move my HD out to get a better angle it seems.

To make sure, I can use the power supply with the pc correct? (assuming you looked at the two liked i gave for the PSU and the PC specs)

Yes you can use that PSU with that PC. You put the 20 and the 4 pin next to each other, the arrow on the 4 pin should point TOWARDS the 20 pin connector, slide them both into the power port. The latch needs go on the side with the lip.
