With the hardware that you're running, it doesn't consume that so you will only need to go for around 500-600W PSUs. The thing with PSUs is that you should always go for as high a quality as you can afford, as this is the driving force behind your machine. Personally I myself would go for something like the XFX as it uses the same parts from the high grade Seasonic (Seasonic is renowned as the best in PSUs) but if you have the money you should actually opt for the Seasonic 500w itself, if not you can go with a Corsair Modular PSU:

The choice is yours, these are only a basis for what the products are, you should always Google the products for the cheapest price.
