If you are thinking about overclocking an 8150, go with extra power. They draw a lot of power when you overclock them.

If you are only doing one card and a mild overclock, the 650w TX should be fine. (A 500w CX unit would be fine with no overclock)

I think that a 450-500w would be plenty for you. I wouldn't recommend past 650w. Having too much potential is almost as bad as not having enough.
