cuz i could get an EPS psu real cheap, so if i got that EPS-ATX connector, would it work just as well as a normal ATX psu? would i need anything else? and is there generally any difference between EPS and ATX psu's?

As long as you have ~.5" on the side of your ATX connector on your mobo, you won't even need an adapter; EPS12v supplies just add 4 pins on one edge of the connector, and are keyed to fit ATX connectors. Go for it
