So I have recently purchased a Corsair CX430 PSU, I put together a PCPartPicker list and it said the PSU was not compatible because I needed an extra 6-pin power connector and the CX430 didn't have one. I already ordered most of my parts including the PSU because I automatically thought they would work together. I cant return it because I bought it from Ebay so I need help finding a solution. I'll leave a link to the PCPartPicker list below.

Okay, can you give me a suggestion on a motherboard that's around $50 and comes factory updated. So do you think I should just re-sell the CX430 and use that money to get a CX500?

 
I would go for the CX 500 over what you have and for the motherboard if it don't work out of the box you can usually get a PC shop to update the BIOS for fairly cheap. The motherboard could and could not work just depends. I'll look it up and see what it takes.
Their 5 different BIOS versions that could come with the motherboard U0, U1, U2, U3, and U4
If your receive U3 or higher it will work just fine.
I would think the chances of getting less than U2 would be slim so you could be fine.
