Wow 600w tut tut LOL with some of the statements made 450/500w will do the trick - Carling
At least 600W but also consider any extra cooling systems/fans, external devices, and/or any lights, if you're into that. Make sure to get one with enough connectors for all your accessories and that you don't use splitters, or try not to. newegg has pretty good pricing and for me, they're local. - gonzos1371
Use this website: http://www.corsair.com/psufinder/ They suggest between 450 and 550 W. They also make great PSUs (go for a modular).
A good Quality 600 watt like PC power and cooling, enermax, Corsair, ETC.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153107&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-17-153-107-_-Product - jaggerwild1999
