Make sure the PSU has a 24 pin and an 8 pin.

 

What's your budget and location? I might be able to help you find a PSU that suits your needs. Remember, don't cheap out on your psu!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Yes, it should have both. The 24 pin is to power the motherboard, the pcie connector is to power your graphics card.

also you said 24 and  8 pin but 4 pin should also work yes? what's the difference exactly?

Your motherboard has a 24 pin to power itself and an 8 pin to power the cpu. The picture you took is detailing what connectors the motherboard has, right? It lists the 4 pin because that connector is used to power fans. The motherboard handles all of that, you don't need to worry about it for the psu.

I don't know any good etailers in Israel... Could you send me a link or something and maybe I could take a look?

 

If it helps, towards the budget end I recommend something like the Corsair CXM grey sticker PSUs. If you're going higher end Corsair RMx/RMi, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, and EVGA G2/G3 are all good psus.

Yeah, it's a pretty good PSU. Not the highest end but good for the price.

Here in the US there's better stuff you can get within $100, but prices in Israel might be pretty inflated.

 

See how much Corsair RMx/RMi, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, and EVGA G2/G3 PSUs cost for you. If they're more than you can spend the CXM should be fine.
