For that, and some room to upgrade, I would probably go with a 650w power supply. I personally use Corsair for their reliability, but I think it is essentially personal preference for the brand.

A quality 450-550w power supply would easily suffice, depending on your future plans to upgrade it. Specific units would depend on your budget and location, but the following are good choices:
 

Mid range:

Seasonic S12ii/M12ii 430/520w

Antec HGC400/520(m)

Ennermax Naxn 450/550w

XFX Core Edition 450/550w

FSP Raider 450/550w

 

Higher end:

Rosewill Capstone-M 450/550w

Seasonic G-series 450/550w

FSP Aurum Gold 400/500w

A Seasonic or Corsair 80+ bronze or higher 650W should be fine to power your computer.

I would go with a corsair hx650. Bought one for my friend for $110. Its semi-modular, 80+ gold certified, and corsair. So its awesome.

A Seasonic or Corsair 80+ bronze or higher 650W psu is enough. The SeaSonic M12II 650 SS-650AM 650W or the CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W

is a good choice for your power supply.
