    You linked a dvd drive. :D but most 8-pin cpu plugs can be separated into a four pin if needed.

    Pretty much all psus have a the 8 pin youre looking for. A good 650w one would be the HX-650. Its a tad expensive but one of the best.

    Motherboard connectors are standard 8 pin and 4 pin. If thats too much in terms of money an antec Earthwatts 650w isnt bad either. But im a seasonic sucker

    specs im looking at
    GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
    AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
    Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
    LITE-ON Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Internal 12X Blu-ray Combo
    LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM SATA 12X Blu-ray Burner with Blu Ray 3D
    XFX HD-667X-CNF3 Radeon HD 6670 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

    I used to build a lot of computers when I ran a business, but I closed it and now I dont stay on top of the updated info all the time. Thats why I didnt know about the 8 pin connector.
