At stock speeds the card alone draws 305 watts ...
Overclocked, add 17% (MSI Afterburner limit for that card) and you just under 350 watts, again just for the card
The CPU @ stock is about 91 watts, 135 ish w/ a good OC.
Add in 35 for MoBo, 40 for everything else and you are at 560 watts
Let's see what nVidia says (600 watts for reference card):

So at stock (475), I'd go for a 650 watter using the old 1.25 - 1.50 times max draw rule of thumb ...if overclocking @ 560 watts "bawlz to the wall", I'd want a 700-850. The reason for this is not that you are in any way in danger of blowing things up. The reason is to get those highest OCs, you need a very stable voltage with low noise and PSU stats start to slip the closer you get to rated wattage. So what might be a 4.7 OC with plenty of headroom can sometimes become a 4.6 because noise and / or voltage wasn't as good at close to rated load.
If you just doing moderate overclocking, a quality 650 - 750 is a good target. At stock, a 600 works ... never a good idea to go outstide manufacturers published specs.
