I honestly wouldn't buy anything less than a good quality 550w, and most likely a 650w. No, you don't need it, but that seems to be the sweet spot for deals on Psu's.

:edit: Stay away from the lower end eVga units. They aren't bad, but worth spending more money on, similar to the Corsair Cx(m) line.
