500 should do you well. If you're overclocking, 600 would be good.

Your system will use less than 300W while gaming. So a QUALITY 450-500W PSU will do fine.

As a general rule, a good quality 650W PSU should be able to run ANY single graphics card system, and 750W for any dual card system. That being said, the key words here are "good quality" You could look here:

and pick a suitable PSU from Tier 1 or 2.

As a general rule a good quality 450-500W PSU can run a single GPU. Quality 650W units can run CF/SLI setups. There are some exceptions to this, but most people don't buy 300W+ GPUs or 200W+ CPUs. If you figure a normal 100W CPU and a 200W GPU then the gaming load will be ~350W. QUALITY 450-500W PSUs handle this just fine.
