Well the minimum recommended is 400W, so I'm sure a 450W-500W will work fine.

Would that psu come with all the necessary cords like the stock one does? Also will it fit in my HP desktop case?

Use only Coolermaster, Antec or Corsair when picking as other companys put up fake wattage and usually end up with unhappy customers. Its not worth frying your new graphics card over 5$ in priceAny suggestions for a psu? One that will have the cords like the stock psu, and be able to fit.

Its not worth frying your new graphics card over 5$ in priceThat's better... Antec and Corsair are great for the most part though (although there are a small minority of bad ones).

Best solution
A little more than you need, but it's only $5 more than the one listed above, is as good or better, and will work for you. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I would recommend at least a quality 450w for good measure. Maybe a better one in case you want to use it for future upgrades? Corsair, Coolermaster, Thermaltake, Enermax are all good brands.Why do people STILL continue to recommend Coolermaster?
They're not the worst, but they're nowhere near something that should be recommended either.

I worried to get the one that doesn't have the cords that will go with all the components in my computer. Also will this fit in my computer?

Yeah, that looks like it's a standard ATX size. The way you have the case positioned threw me off for a second though, lol. I was like "wait a second, I've never seen anything like that", but then I realized you positioned it strangely (back of the case on the desk).

One more question, would this psu give me enough power to play games such as Skyrim and Battlefield 3? I appreciate your help by the way!

I just recommended a 600W PSU to give you a little headroom for the future.

Kinda off topic but do you play any games? Was curious.I play mostly racing type games like Dirt 3 and F1 2011. I'll play games like BF3 and MW3 every now and then, but I'm not very good, so I just tend to not play those much, lol. Racing games are what I'm good at, so that's what I enjoy the most. I used to be great at the Unreal Tournament games though...
