Hi - You kinda need to know which graphics card you are likely to get. You can still get
the PSU 1st (I did), but you are likely to spend more $$ than you need to if you go out
and get a 650-700w unit now. A quality 550w PSU will run 95% or more of the single
GPU systems out there.

The std ATX/PS2 PSU's widely offered will fit your case. I suggest going with a quality
PSU brand such as Seasonic, XFX, PC Power & Cooling, Antec, Rosewill Capstone/Fortress series,
most Corsair's, most Silverstone, most Enermax, & a few others.

Hi again - A quality 450w PSU will run your system with a 7850.
Here's a thought for you. I already posted the reputable PSU brands above.

Just check your Asus documantation & be sure it has approprate PCI-E slot,
it most likely does, but better safe than sorry.

Save the $$ difference from a quality 650 or 750w PSU, get a good quality
550w PSU and upgrade your GPU to a 7870, which requires a quality 500w PSU.

I'll post a few quality PSU's for you to consider:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... 550w -nets to $60 - Seasonic built

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... 500w -nets to $48

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... 500w - nets to $40

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... 650w - nets to $70

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... 650w - nets to $57

Any of these will power your system with headroom, on a purely price/perf ratio the last
one linked appears to be the best value, and it's a quality unit.
