Most good modern PSUs are compatible with most motherboards. The only problem is if you have a prebuilt machine like a Dell, Compaq, Gateway, etc. Alot of those companies use proprietary power supplies and will NOT work with a regular name brand PSU.
If you have a prebuilt PC you should call the manufacturer and ask them before plugging in a PSU that could destroy your machine.

All you have to do is a buy a modern and reputable brand power supply (such as Enermax) and it should work just fine.
