You will be needing a 24 pin psu, and if you need some recommendations just ask.

I just went to newegg.com pasted that motherboard into the search bar found the motherboard you were looking at scrolled to the bottom and found that it is 24 pin. Recommendations in a second.

I'm using an XG Vortec PSU with mine. It works perfectly and I got it really cheap ($40 after rebate, normally like $60).
