Any quality PSU over 400-450 watts will be fine.

Personally, I prefer a PSU that's a bit larger than the system requires, and I'd get one in the 650 watt range, but that's just my preferences.

I do recommend staying with a PSU from one of the following:

Corsair
Antec
XFX
Seasonic.
(many of those are built by Seasonic, and re-badged)

Here are some good units to consider:

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430

Antec EarthWatts Green EA-430D

SeaSonic S12II 430B
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151074

XFX Core Edition PRO450W

XFX Core Edition PRO550W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817207013

There are many, many more worth your consideration.

Remember this...the PSU is the heart of your computer system. DO NOT try to scrimp on this very important component. A BAD PSU may only fail to properly power your system, OR, it MIGHT die a painful death...and take out many of your other components when it goes.

A good choice as well but you don't actually need 650W for adding HDD or RAM. A GPU might need it but most mid range cards will do just fine with a 500W PSU.

Some of the reviews complain about a weird clicking sound . . definitely don't wanna deal with that. I'm gonna keep poking around for one.
