Did you do a

What?
So you are saying that you would rather get a question answered without having to do any research? You simply want someone to tell you the answer?

That is a poor attitude, and is going to make your requests for information frought with problems along the way.

For whatever its worth, a good number of forum members over the years have gone to great lengths to post useful information and compile it in one location for you to locate. If you choose not to use this resource, that's up to you.
Blatantly expecting someone to tell you what you want when you're not willing to even bother looking the information up is going to make for a frustrating install and a lot of bad vibes in your direction.

If you'd bothered to look at the link I posted, I'm the one that wrote it!!!!!
It doesn't get much more "first-hand" than that.
However, if you want to wait for someone to come along and spoon-feed you, here's a little something I think you should read while you wait: FAQ: What is Spoon Feeding

How about...

I wrote a FAQ that will show you how to choose your own PSU and make an intelligent decision about it on your own. There are also other FAQs that touch on the same topic written by other members that are just as (if not more) informative.
But that's not good enough for you. You need to have someone come along and say those exact words.
Never mind that there are some hard and fast electrical laws that go into choose a PSU, and they have been taken into account when people write up informational threads like that. Never mind that the write-up is based on years of experience-not only my own, but countless others who have bheen in this hobby before I ever showed up. Never mind the 15+ years of professional PC hardware experience that I, myself, possess. Never mind the fact-checking and contribution from about a half-dozen other mp3car members with successful PC installs under their belts.

Let's look at this another way, since having the information you seek handed to you isn't going to happen.
You could also SEARCH the forums for the CPU you're looking at using and see what you can come up with! Wow, what a concept!

Well, I don't think you're going to do that, either, since it doesn't involve someone posting in your thread to say that they use CPU XYZ with PSU ABC.

Laziness doesn't get you very far in this hobby.

well,like i said,NHF,this is hard work for me,because,i must order psu from US,and if i order wrong PSU,i can do nothing,20$ for shipping,+32% on product price taxes,and what if i order wrong psu,a 100$ for nothing,i cant afford to orded wrong PSU,thats why i ask,iam not perfectly in english,so i dont understand some words,and again that is one more reason why i ask,so plz,dont be mad about that,imagine that you come in croatian forum,and ask something that u dont understand....well,iam in same position...

Well, for one, I'm not going to go to a forum where I don't understand the language.

Second, we're providing you with all the information you need to make an intelligent decision so that you don't have to go though the hassles you describe. Although you can order many of the parts you want/need from suppliers in Europe, as well. FYI.

If language is a barrier, then I can't help you there. I promise you that nobody will come to this thread and tell you want you want to hear in your native language! It's very likely that nobody will tell you what you want in English, either.

You're asking to be handed the information you want on a silver platter when there are tools and resources you can utilize to make the decision yourself. Many others have overcome a language barrier to get the information they need to pull off a successful installation. I'm sure you can, as well.

Good luck!
