Sapphire recommends a 750W power supply. And according to AnandTech's review, that's a justifiable recommendation: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7406/the-sapphire-r9-280x-toxic-review/4
I have a Corsair TX750, and I love it. Been going strong for, holy crap, three years now. If you plan to get another for Crossfire down the road, you'll want an even larger wattage, though.

750w isn't neccesarry, those recommendations are always overrated(assuming you use a no name brand PSU), in that review the whole system draws 460w in the most heaviets situation possible. So a quality 520w is ok. Normal gaming load is with a OC only 347, good thing we don't play Furmark 
Edit: That 750w is a good one, but you really don't need that much wattage. If you want to use a second one in CF later on get ~800w.
