Corsair, XFX or Antec are good PSU's
The correct watt i could only tell you if i know the GPU.
But the current components + 1 GPU would work with 500-600watt.

What about this ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202011 Would this be ok with my current setup ?

iAmJimbo :

That would work yes, consider that you might and i say might one day want to CF it.
So you could take it into account when fitting a PSU, 400Watt is recommended for that card + the rest of your rig.
Make sure you got a high end PSU with a bit more watt so you got some wiggle room.
600 watt high end PSU if you consider ever going CF, if not a 450 Watt high end PSU would suffice.

And by CF It what do you mean ? (Sorry for asking getting to know more about computers xD)

iAmJimbo :

CrossFire a dual card setup for ATI cards, the counter part of SLI NVIDIA way of making you spend heaps of money.
So you would need 2 slots of PCI Express 3.0 x16 on your motherboard and enough power supply to power that.
Your motherboard actually is CrossFire ready,

Ahhhh ok now I understand. Thank you very much

iAmJimbo :

NP you can make your rig CrossFire ready and buy a second card on a later date.
Downside is that it has to be the same card you put in there right now, or put in 2 new cards.
All about your budget and willingness to spend i guess, but it is a option making your rig future proof.
