You didn't provide everything necessary, but 650W and up should do it for you.

Thanks for the advice, what else should I provide?

Thanks, but I'll pass for now. Want to look at all of my options before I buy.

Ram, motherboard, optical drive.

Its also a good idea to include any hardware upgrades you're planning in the near future (if any).

4GB Ram

Motherboard: HP Pavilion FT863AV-ABA d5100t (Plan on upgrading, any suggestions?)

Optical drive: CD? (not really sure what this one is)

500ish watts should be good.

Do you want modular cables?

Ya, if I'm correct on what modular cables are, I need a 6Pin and an 8Pin just for the gfx card itself

I'd recommend getting a reputable brand such as Corsair or Seasonic for PSU's. For this system, I'd recommend the XFX 550W (another reputable brand for PSU's).

Ya, I'm probably going to get a corsair

Alright, looks like im going for it. Thanks for all the advice guys, much appreciated!
 
long as the power supply gives out about 30-40 amps on the 12v rail, you're fine. even some 400w power supplies can do this, they'll just get pretty hot under load.
