Hello guys, can someone tell me what do I need on my power supply to run GTX 780 ?
I'm wondering how are called these connectors on the side.

Those are PCI-E power connectors. The run from your power supply straight to your video card. That card requires a 6 pin and an 8 pin (6+2) connector, both MUST be connected in order to work properly. Depending on what power supply is in your computer, you may need to upgrade. Especially if it doesn't have any PCI-E connectors, which would make it quite old.
