I just wrote this in another thread, but make sure you get a good power supply with plenty of amps on the rails, too, because the ###wattage doesn't mean all that much.  A lot of places will sell you a crappy power supply with a large wattage # that is actually inferior to a model with a lower wattage #, so check the specs.

That being said, you're looking at a 600-700W unit to run at 50% load, for max efficiency.
