I've currently got a Enermax EG651P-VE 550W ATX PSU and I'm thinking of getting a Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 will my current PSU connect / power this board ok?
 
Specs

Hard to find that model on the Enermax site, do you know if it is ATX 2.x with a 24 pin power connector or an older 20 pin? If it connected straight to the A7N8X (in your sig) without needing 4 pins (attached to the 20 pin block) detached or an adapter then it will be 20 pin.

The asrock your looking is 20 pin according to the specs (a little odd for a PCI-E board..) so even if your PSU is an older model I'd say you'll be fine. Worst case you might need a 20/24 pin adapter but it should be ok power wise with a PSU of that calibre.

If your PSU is an older 20 pin model you'll also lack a 6 pin PCI-E (graphics) power connector but you can get an adapter for that too (converts 2 molex).
