Hello, today i went to my friend for him to install my new CPU but he said that my Power Supply doesnt have enough cables(?) to put my new CPU( i5 4690k), my power supply is almost 10 years old now, so theres that. :D

I know nothing about power supplies but he basically told me that anything above 650 watts should be fine.

What power supply should i buy? Preferably one that will last for quite some time, as i dont want random things breaking inside my PC.

I want one that will last, i dont wanna have to replace it in 1 year for example.

Nvidia GTX 960 2GB
Kingston 240GB SSD
1 Tera Hard Drive for Storage
Intel Core i5 4690K (Im trying to install this)
8GB Ram

You can get a cheaper PSU and and it may still be of good quality, but the ones on Tom's chart have been tested and are known good. But generally, cheap PSU's use low quality capacitors and chokes, and don't have very good safety features. They will fail more frequently pose a greater risk of damaging your other components. The one you linked is a Tier 4, and I would not recommend it.
A good quality PSU, 500 watts or more will fine. The better quality PSU's are the Tier 1 and 2 units on Tom's PSU chart.

You can use a PSU calculator to help determine your actual requirements.

This is a good PSU for the price:

Sorry to bother you again, but those two can only be gotten in greece through ordering it which takes 7 days and i cant wait that long.

What about this one? http://www.msystems.gr/index.php?category=1210&product=18648

Or this one? http://www.e-shop.gr/psu-corsair-rmx-series-rm750x-750w-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-p-PER.643193

I looked at the tier lists and both seem to be tier 1 and available the next day on the websites i use to browse for that stuff.
