Hey,

A good 550W PSU would handle your system :)
*Seasonic G 550W recomendation ( from the best PSU makers )

If you want to overclock,
Take a 600W+ PSU

If you want another graphics card + overclock
Take a 750W+ PSU
 
FWIW without overclock your computer will roughly be around the 450w mark. A good rule of thumb is 80% max rated so roughly a 550w minimum. Since the cost difference between a 550w and 750w is 10-15$ in most cases (comparing apples to apples of course), I would go with the 750w and have it and not need it.
