The GPU needs around 140 watts and the CPU needs 125 watts. General manufacturer recommendations would be a 450 watts power supply for your system as it is.

Update:

is a link for a manufacturer as an example for your GPU

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113327
is a link for the CPU product page at Newegg listing TDP

Update 2:
You should be okay with your power supply.

It really depends on the manufacturer of your power supply.

This is the cheapest quality one right now

XFX TS 550 $27 after $25 rebate (I have 3 of these)
