    Since it appears that you're building a budget system, you should be fine with a 400w or 450w power supply; even a good 350w or 375w should be fine. Just be sure it has a 20/24pin main power connector for the mothreboard (also called a 20+4pin), and a 4pin 12v CPU power connector (just about every power supply made these days have these connectors). However, if you plan on upgrading the CPU and video card some day, you'll want a stronger power supply, so keep that in mind. Here's a few PSUs that should be fine with your system:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371005 (This one is the least expensive of the bunch, and probably the best of the bunch too! 80PLUS certified! I see augie mentioned it above in his reply also)
    I tried to select some brands known to be solid....

    I hope this helps!
