it should be compatible. it has a 20+4 pin main power connector, which makes it compatible with older 20 pin motherboards. it is also by enermax, so it should prove to be reliable.

Should be fine--Enermax is a good company.
and later on when you upgrade your mobo etc-- you'll be able to reuse it due to the 20+4 pin connector

The brands I recommend are
Thermaltake/Silverstone/Aerocool/Zalman/Enermax/Vantec/PC Power & Cooling
take what you are running now (or use a PSU calculator) add 75-100 watts for future upgrades.
You being in an Island Nation complicates where you can buy from-- I love Newegg-- but I don't think they ship over there.
Basically --stick with a good maker, buy where you know the service is good-- you'll do fine. A Google search for your chosen model's ratings can't hurt -- if there are problems --it will show up.


Newegg.com - Thermaltake W0093RU ATX 12V 2.0 Version 500W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, CUL, TUV, FCC, and CB - Retail
