I personally would use nothing less than a good 400 w PSU for all that hardware

Personally, I like the Enermax 431 watt PSU. It can handle almost anything and w/ dual fans, it runs cool. They are a little pricey, but what is your system worth?
There are a few vendors at pricewatch that have them for $90 (shipping included).

Ditto.
Enermax 431W is a good one and quiet.
