Looking to upgrade my PSU for Radeon 7850.

Hello there, community! As you may or may not have noticed, Christmas is coming. This great time of love and spending astronomical amounts of money means I'm gonna splurge a little and slap a Club3D Radeon 7850 in my PC. As such, my build will look as follows:

CPU: Intel i5-2320 4x3.00ghz
RAM: 4GB
GPU: Club3D Radeon 7850 2GB


Now comes the big question: what power supply would be best fitted for keeping it all running? At the moment I have an abysmal Akyga PSU, so upgrading is a necessity. I'd like to keep it on the cheap though, so any input is appreciated!

PS: If it's of any importance, I don't really have much else in my computer - pretty much just a HDD, a Soundblaster w/ Front Bay and multiple USB connectors, so no unnecessary CD/DVD/Bluray/Laserdisk/Floppy drives.

650w - antec/croasair/Ega/XFX/seasonic or anyother popular brand - you should get it under 80$

A cheap psu can become a very expensive purchase.
It may not perform as advertised, and can damage anything it is connected to if it fails.
Stick only with a quality unit.
Here is one list of quality psu parts:

Your 7850 will need only 450w. I might overprovision by 20% and buy a 500 or 550w unit.

Thank you for your answers. I browsed quickly and wildly and found a possible solution to my problem: the Antec VP500PC. Would that be good enough for my system? Here's the sticker: http://i.imgur.com/qE2ZuKV.jpg
