Looks good. Sorry about the delay in replying.

As a general rule an ATX power supply will work on an ATX motherboard and mATX will work on mATX.

In some cases you may need a specific version of a power supply (ATX 2.0, ATX 2.2 etc).

6 Molex should be enough considering you only need two for your hard drive and DVD drive, two for your graphics card and maybe one or two for another fan.

Good luck with it

I would not recommend buying that power supply. It is a cheap, no-name generic power supply. the power supply is the heart of the computer, if it fails, it could take the rest of the computer with it.
