Your board requires a ATX 12Volt V2.0 compliant power supply. It needs to have a 24 pin EATXPWR connector as well as the 4 pin ATX12V power connector. This is stated in the manual on page 2-30.

The manual recommends a minimum of 350watts but I would get a good quality power suppy of at least 500 watts. Antec or Enermax make good quality power supplies, dont settle for a cheap PSU they almost never measure up and cause instability.

As Barry R has suggested / Antec Tru Power 550 (on ebay for $100.00)

or newegg.com

Antec and Enermax make a high quality PSU that has the most affordable price tag / if you want better you are going to have to pay double like a
PC Power & Cooling PSU or OCZ Extreme Gamer

the above PSU has PCI express video connectors as well as sata drive connectors and standard 4 pin molex connectors / all variations of mobo connectors and the 4 pin 12V cpu plug / its like Prego Spagetti Sauce ~~~ it's all in there !!??

Well Kidam:

I have seen and operated many mobo's that werent "fully" fastened in. I dont reccomend it / but if you are careful and dont bump it much you can get away with it / a better move would be a trip to a computer shop for some matching replacement standoffs ???

but thats just me ???
