Would 750 watts be good enough? Thinking of corsair 750w modular. I won't be overclocking

Fractal Design Black Pearl Define R3 Case
Zotac GTX470 1280MB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card
OCZ 60GB Vertex 2E SSD 2.5" SATA-II Read = 285MB/s, Write = 275MB/s 50,000 IOPS
Intel i7 930 2.8GHz Socket 1366 8MB L3 Cache
Asus P6TD Deluxe X58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Dominator Memory CL8(8-8-8--24)

Yep, 650w wouldn't break a sweat either. Shop around, more won't hurt a thing if it's the same price as a smaller unit.
 
If you're not overclocking even a corsair 550w would be plenty, really.
