Any quality PSU 500w or greater. Corsairs are solid (though I am not sure on the new builder series), any seasonic, and many antec PSU (true new, neo eco, earthwatts).

im not convinced you'll go over 300 watts at full load. heck, probably closer to 250 or so.

hmmm interesting, even if it using only 350 watts or so, id still want some headroom for overclocking, and just to be safe ;)
