Well a 600W or higher PSU from EVGA/ XFX/ Antec/ SeaSonic would be good enough. I'd get SeaSonic S12II 620W or XFX Pro 650W to go with the system, if you're looking for CF ability, 850W or higher would be great. EVGA B2/G2 850W are excellent PSUs.

I'd go for the EVGA Supernova series of PSU's, 750W should be fine if you're NOT planning to go SLI
It's also in Tier 1 (highest tier) in the tierd PSU list rated by quality of the PSUs.
Stick to tier 1, tier 2a and tier 2b.
