It's the PSU.
Replace it with a decent one from Antec, XFX or Seasonic. :)

So there isn't any chance that it's either the bios not being update or the power supply that doesn't go directly to the wall outlet(power)?, since for now i don't think to have the money to buy one new psu

Try plugging it straight into the wall, and see if the same thing happens.
I wouldn't recommend trying to update the BIOS with such a dodgy PSU.
I can near guarantee it's the PSU :(

Ok tried out but same thing happens, so i tried a one more thing that seems to be functionating for now, in the box that i received with the gpu there was and adpter cable for alimentation, on one side a 6 pin connection on the other side a 2 wires of 4 pin connection, so i plugged only one of the two wired 4 pin connection two the alimentator and the 6 pin connection to the gpu, and for now its working, hope works for now, i noticed that while plaing there are some little glitches but realy trascurable and not of any big probleam, so i think that i'll stay so if there ins't any problem and than buy a good psu ad a higher price, fouad a :"Seasonic S12G-650 SSR-650RT, 650W, ATX 2.3, PFC Activ" at a good price so i'll save up for it, but i'd like to know if there isn't any problem with how i've put the wires.

Ok, sounds good :)  It's a terrible PSU, the one you have. :p 
Glad it's working for the moment though.
What are the glitches?

a little low to charge textures, but only sometimes and with low i'd say max 3 sec so it's not a big deal, and unfortunatly when i buyed the pieces for the pc i let somoene else choose the cpu and the alimentator since i wasn't so expert on this two>.< but gladly at least the cpu is good even if the psu not<.< so as soon as i can i'll buy a new psu, thank you very much for your help and sorry fot the trouble>.<
