I have recently bought a GTX 760, but my game froze frequently. So I am deciding to buy a new PSU. The only problem is that I dont know if it is compatible to my motherboard.

This is the PSU I'm planning to buy:

And my Motherboard model is this:

Since I'm a newbie at this tech stuff, I just wanna ask what is ATX12V? What is 4x8/6Pin PCiE?
What are other features I have to pay attention at in order to know if it is compatible to my Motherboard?

Thanks!

That's a good PSU and is compatible, but why do you think your PSU was causing your game crashes?

4 x 6/8pin means it has 4 connectors that are 6+2 pin connectors, which graphics cards use. Pretty much saying it can handle SLI or crossfire.

if you have a corsair tx then it isn't the PSU. I'm running a 280x on 650W which draws more than a 760. I would do a clean driver reinstall. Go to control panel>programs>uninstall a program. then delete anything with nvidia or geforce in the name. restart. go to nvidias website and download the latest driver.
