So a 20+4 pin connector is the same as a 24 pin connector then? It sounds stupid asking but the whole ATX and E-ATX thing confuses me

Yeah, the 20+4 means that there's the 20 pin power connector, for people whose boards are only 20 pin power. The plus 4 means that there's an extra 4 pin little power connector dangling right next to that 20 pin power connector so it will fit a 24 pin one. Basically it's a way to be able to hook up power to a motherboard that uses 20 pin OR 24 pin power. If you had a 20 pin power connector motherboard, you would just plug in the 20 pin connector. If its a 24 pin power slot, then you would plug in the 20 pin one as well as the 4 pin one that will be right next to it.
Here's a picture to help better explain:
