PSU Compatibility (wires and pins confuse me!)

[Myrmidon1989]

Good day,

I'm looking for a new PSU for my budget gaming PC. I currently use a 350 watt to play modern games and I strongly suspect its the reason behind many of my crashes. PSU's have lots of wires, plugs, pins and connectors and I have no idea what kind I need for my motherboard so have little idea which PSU's will be compatible. I don't even know what my current PSU uses.

If I include my motherboard specs would anyone be able to tell me the kinds of connectors/pins I will definitely need in a PSU for compatibility? I read things like 24 pin, 4+4 pin, 8 pin, SATA, Molex, PCI, PCI-E and I have no idea what any of it means really. I had been hoping if a PSU seems to sport all of them then it would be a simple pick and choose which wires are applicable and leave the rest unplugged but... When is technology ever that simple? :/ I've included a screenshot of my exact motherboard specs from Speccy.

Kind regards

I've also thought about looking in BIOS for CPU settings but I can't get in. On boot my machine says FN+F10 and it gets me into something called:-

RealTek PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent Configuration Menu

Network Boot Protocol ---------- PXE
Boot Order ---------- PnP / BEV (BBS)
Show Config Message ------ ENable
Show Message Time ----- 3 seconds

BOOT ORDERED by BBS BIOS, if BBS BIOS PRESENT

<ESC> <SPACE> <ENTER> <F4>
QUIT CHANGE VALUE Next option Save quit

Space (change value) does nothing...
