Below are great choices. The 850 watt model is the lowest that I would consider with your confirmation, or you can get the 1,000 watt model for extra peace of mind. Were it me, I'd go for the beefier wattage, but either choice is solid.

EVGA 850 G2
$144.99 - $25 (rebate card) = $119.99

EVGA 1000 G2
$174.99 - $30 (rebate card) = $144.99

* FYI - Review score took a large hit mainly because of high price on NewEgg at time or review. Price is much lower now.
