The one recommended by jimthenagual would be fine. What was your last PSU? It doesn't matter that it had a bit more power since the quality was probably much lower than on that XFX unit.

I couldn't find any reliable info or reviews about it, so it's pretty safe to assume that it was built with low quality parts.

Your GPU needs two PCI-e connectors and the PSU has them. The rest of the cables are standard for computers. It will have a 20+4 pin for the motherboard, a 4+4 for your CPU connection, and sata for your HDD etc.

Any EVGA or XFX 600w will do great. Sometimes Corsair is good but they have bad capacitors on most models.

There are some great EVGAs (B2, G2, P2) and there are some cheap ones (B1, G1)

There are some great Corsairs (AX, TX, HX) and there are some cheap ones (VS, CX)

The entire XFX lineup is great. No cheap ones, all made by Seasonic.
