I think around 500ish is what you really need but you really shouldn't skimp out on PSU. The reliable brands I know are Seasonic, Corsair, and Antec.

AMD recommends a 500w psu for the 6850:

Do not skimp on PSU quality.
My short list of quality brands includes Corsair, Antec, PC P&C, XFX and Seasonic.

wintermint made a good suggestion.

Something like this depending on budget, personally I'd go Corsair 650HX unless you wanna shell out for the Seasonic X650.
