An 850W should get it done fine, it only recommends for a 750W and even that is overshooting it I'm sure

It would HOWEVER i would NOT recommend getting that psu as its made by a bad brand. Get something like an EVGA, corsair, xfx, seasonic or fractal design.

Raidmax is one of the worst PSU manufactures still in business. Don't waste your money on that pile of garbage.
Here are some much better quality units in that price range from the same site.
