a good quality 400W or a crappy 750W

 

try Seasonic Platinum 460 Fanless

This should go in to Power Supplies, but personally I'm running an OC'ed 290x on a 500 watt unit along with a 95 watt xeon, but I'd go for a good 650 watt unit or higher if I were you.

 

EDIT: from EVGA or Corsair. Those are both good companies to buy from.

mandatory research material whenever people recommend corsair for high end builds
