Well, I'd get one that that is 500W....although you could probably get by with 450W.

On that note, the amps are more important. You need to make sure you are getting atleast 26Ampules on the 12V rail(s).

I suggest you buy the 450VX corsair

Always invest in a good psu!

Yes, there is a sticker on the psu
