What Power Supply will fit...?

Newer motherboards have an "auxiliary" motherboard power input to help with overclocking, etc. The input will be either four pins or eight pins. In order for psu manufactures to make sure their customers have what they need, they provide a four + four configuration. That way, if the m/b requires a four pin, it's there - and if it requires an eight pin, you use both four pin connectors.

Absolutely on the cx500. If your budget can do it, it would be a better solution. It will give some headroom and keep the psu from running close to capacity (less heat - a good thing).

Thanks for answering all of you!

As for this model I had picked it but it's width is 6.3"... and I measured the inside with a ruler and it only gives me about 6".

Is the Corsair CX430 good?

So is this PSU to power your whole computer?

Yes it is to power my whole PC.

Yeah but a family member is going to send it to me and is going to buy the parts in TigerDirect, and it's not there.

I live in Colombia

Okay sounds good. But maybe just to be sure I think a CX500 would be good then.

But what does 1 x 4+4 Pin EPS 12V connector mean? My mobo is 4 years old so IDK if it is EPS 12v compatible
