Hi, and welcome! The first thing on PSUs, especially with a good system like you built is to not go cheap. Be prepared to spend $100+... That said, we have reviewed a bunch lately that may be good for you...

Cooler Master, Thermaltake, OCZ, and Seasonic, Enermax are all brands with good quality, wide availability, and decent prices.
I'd suggest 500W or more, and look for strong voltage rails, and maybe APFC and high efficiency.
You should be able to give the one video card the power connection it needs, but if you can swing it, gte a PSU ready to power two graphics cards in case you change your mind. On this motherboard, power is fed into the board near the cards, but some cards may require power separately.
I wouldn't sweat the ATX 2.0 thing, as all you would consider have it.
The connections question will be easy to handle with most PSUs. Just count up the connectors and see if it equals or exeeds what you need. You can daisy chain connectors, but keep the max power rating in mind when adding more things than there are plugs for.
BIOS questions might have to be more specific? What are you trying to do?
