I'd like to be on the safe side, could you (or anyone else) recommend a 600w/650w psu please. Thanks in advance to anyone that replies
 
You are already well into the safe zone, that system with a 7850 wont be pulling more than about 350 W from the wall. A decent 500 W PSU can run any single graphics card system, so 550 W is plenty for you.

Any of the three Gothams finest suggested would do just fine for your system.

I have already suggested three power supply's that will be great for your system.

Like I have already said, (as well as two others: hunter315 & dudewitbow) a 550w will be more than sufficient.

You only need to start thinking about a 650w if you have two 7850s in crossfire.

 

Unless you plan on running two of those cards a 500w psu will run a single 7850. If you want plenty of headroom then look at the XFX 550w psu. It's manufactured by Seasonic, and has 44 amps on a single rail. You can find it for on the cheap @ Dabs.
