650W will be more than enough for your system

Also the best PSU Brands are: PC Power and Cooling, Antec, OCZ, Seasonic, Silverstone, Corsair and Enermax

da psu brands u mentioned on ur 2nd reply r not available on my country. We have gigabyte,asus,valuetop nd thermaltake. But thermaltakes r overpriced.

so should i go 4 asus or gigabyte?
Wil i realy need 650wt? 500wt is recommanded 4 5850

500w will be fine as long as it is a quality brand. I have no idea about the quality of Asus or Gigabyte power supplies. Go for the one with the highest 12v amps and best warranty.

the only asus psu ive ever seen was made by bestec. and while some gigabyte power supplies are good,some suck.

It's difficult to choose a quality unit from either Gigabyte or Thermaltake due to the fact that some units are good and some are terrible.
Gigabyte ODIN Plus and GT are good units the Odin and Odin Superb are not.
Thermaltake Toughpower XT are good do not buy a TR2 they aren't good.

Newegg does not ship internationally at all.

The OEM's for ASUS' power supplies are AcBel Polytech, Bestec, Delta Electronics and Enertronix.

The OEM's for Gigabytes power supplies are AcBel Polytech, CWT and FSP.

The quality of components varies depending on the model series. In general a value series will use cheaper, less reliable components in its manufacturing. High-end series will use high quality components and are better able to deliver their claimed wattage or more.

If you specify the makes and models available to you that will be more useful in helping you make your decision.

As i already mentioned stay away from TR2 models they suck!
Case in point.

Imo there's no reason to believe the 550W unit is any better.
Toughpower XT and Grand are good.
