I would say you need to be looking at 600w+ personally.

@Poprin I tried that but I didn't know how to use it. Can you please do that for me?
If I need 600w+.. Is 750w PSU good?

A minimum of 550watts should be fine.

Give us a few examples to look at within your budget.

Buying 750watt is fine,but make sure it's at least a decent psu from a well known brand.
Those brands are antec,xfx,corsair,seasonic,enermax,most ocz,most silverstone,some cooler master.
Maybe tell here which you want to buy before you're actually doing it so we can give an opinion.
