This website is great for working out what wattage PSU you should choose, But always make sure to allow at least 50W more and maybe even more if you are planning on overclocking

Seasonic, XFX and Corsair are the best PSU manufacturers (generally speaking). I use a Huntkey X7 900W in one of my builds, and it's actually good.
