I have a 20 pin power connector /4 pin power connector

Then I have 2 lots of 4 pin power connectors Bundled together. I also have a one 6 pin power connector.

my GFX card has it's own power connection as 4pin (old school molex),

24pin into the motherboard - it's 20 + 4 in case you are using an old 20pin board and don't need the other bit. Just plug it in.

The CPU connector used to be 4pin, a lot of boards now are 8 pin, thats why 4+4. Plug it in - in your case all 8.

GFX, all depends on your graphics card - you may need 6 pin, or 6 pin + another, or 6pin + 8pin.

Your card has a 4pin molex type - so plug that in and don't worry about the 6pins.

You wouldn't hurt anything without it - it just wouldn't boot.
