Depends what how much your willing to spend on it and if you want modular or not. Having a quick look, these would be my picks for cheap PSU's.

Non-modular:
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($55.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12G 650W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply ($61.50 @ Newegg)

Semi-modular:
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ Newegg)

Full Modular:
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ NCIX US)...
Look for a PSU built by Seasonic (their own, XFX, some Antec), Delta (some Antec), or Superflower (Rosewill Capstone) to be sure of getting a good PSU. Avoid Corsair in those wattages, which will be CX or GS, made with inferior capacitors that do not tolerate heat well.
A 380W Antec Earthwatts is sufficient for any graphics card with only one six-pin PCIe power connection (regardless of manufacturer minimum recommendations).

The Corsair TX, HX, and AX lines are highly regarded (with TX being the cheapest and AX the most expensive.) Corsair gets some of their units built by Seasonic, some by other companies. Some people want to avoid Corsair units built by others than Seasonic, but as far as I can see, if Corsair deemed them good enough to be under their label, then they should be fine.

I'd wait out and watch their new RM series though. Supposed to be an ultra-silent model to replace the TX series. It's not established enough for people to have used them long enough to discover long term reliability issues.

I happen to have a Corsair CX 600M. Not the best, but it's economical and it's been pumping properly for over a year now. Like Onus hinted though, you'll want good cooling in your case for this PSU, or any PSU for that matter.
