850 watts would be massive overkill, actually; not that there's necessarily anything wrong with overkill - I have an 850w PSU myself, for no other reason than sheer excess. However, much more important than wattage, is getting a high-quality unit with good efficiency and plenty of amps on the +12v rail. Look at Seasonic, Enermax, Corsair, Antec or the new Rosewills for starters. Go 80+ gold (or platinum, if you can afford it), and consider something in the 650 watt range (still more than you need, but what the hell). If you have any questions about a specific unit, post here and you'll get some feedback.
