Read this article and choose one that passes the test. For your system
I would choose one that is at least 400 watts total.

Here's another review article on PSU's.

Minimum of a good, Antec level quality, 300 watt PSU, no need to get
anything bigger than 450 watts. So, I'd probably look at a 350 or 400 watt
power supply. Maybe, you could get a case and get one with it:

Antec case complete with a 450 watt power supply, and only about $100. Sweet
deal.

Newegg doesn't show a single photo of the case with the door open. Now
I wonder how that kind of thing happens? Very nice shot of the power
cord though.
