a 300+ watt seasonic or XFX will be good. (for your current setup, adding a GPU will need more power)

Here is a list of power requirements needed for the whole system based on what graphics card you will add.

Here is our very good power supply tier list. With a lower end graphics card tier 3 and up should be fine. With a higher end card try and stay with tier 2 and up.

Losing power, then you have to wait 5 minutes to restart ... those sound like the textbook signs of a shutdown due to overheating. What are you CPU[strike]/GPU[/strike] (lol, no GPU) temperatures like? And do you hear any fans spinning extra loud right before the shutoff?
