I'm looking to buy a new PSU soon to power a better video card. My motherboard is pretty old and I don't know much about choosing a PSU. I think my current motherboard and PSU use ATX, but the PSU I want to buy only has a 4+4 pin EPS to power the CPU. Will it be compatible with my 4-slot ATX?

My motherboard is here:

This is the PSU I want:

i believe you can use an ATX 4+4 with an ESP board.

E:

don't let that 1 x 4+4 Pin EPS 12V throw you off. it's fine.

Yes you just use 4 pins out of the 4+4!

Yes because the 4+4 connector can be used for either a 4 pin or 8 pin CPU socket power connector. it looks like that motherboard has a 4 pin connector so you should be good.
