You'll be totally fine with a 600W power supply. That will give you some room to make changes later.

As for which to buy, that will depend on your budget.

Here's the current tiers of PSUs. They're basically split up into tiers based on performance.

You don't need a really high performing PSU that lets you do all sorts of things you'll probably never use on this build. Those features are more for overclocking and enthusiasts.

I'd suggest using Tier 2.

To make sure you have all the right connectors, I'd throw your parts into PCPartPicker.com and then pick a PSU. It will only let you pick ones that are compatible with the components you listed above.
