4gigs ddr2 ram
1TB HDD
1dvd multi drive and lastly
core 2 duo E8400 that i will be overclocking

so i need a psu that will support the gpu and the rest of the hardware as well as support my overclocked CPU

lastly the pc will be on 24/7 as im building it as a server for counter strike source so i can have my own server to play on

NEVER skimp on a PSU... Remember, your PSU is powering your entire system, not just the GPU; http://textuploader.com/5ef9y Good Info here (courtesy of MeanMachine41 from an earlier post on PSU's).

I'd recommend a quality 550w-650w gold, as there is no such thing as "too much" and you will not actually be drawing 550w-650w constantly from the wall in doing so. If you do any upgrades later, you'll be glad you invested in a good PSU now.
