I would say something between 550W and 650W. But I always recommend getting a bigger power supply in order to make the unit run cooler and quieter, with some power to spare. We never know when this power will come in handy.

As for the brand, I suggest getting a power supply from either Seasonic, XFX or Corsair (except the CX or RM series). They're all trusted brands and you can't go wrong with these. Be sure to pick a unit with a good certification and modular cabling if you can afford it.

If you're not planning to add a second card, get this eVGA 650W:

For GTX 780 Ti SLI (i.e. two graphics cards):

EVGA PSU s are not that trustable and good

Budget? Where will you buy?

That one is pretty good, actually. But sure, here's a Corsair for a few more dollars if you prefer:

the galaxy 780ti hof takes up like 600 watt so will 650 watt psu be enough

The Corsair TX650 will do the job.
