Radeon HD 7850 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

If you are not planning to add a second gpu in xfire, a solid 500w psu will be fine. The 7850 will only draw ~105w at max and total system draw will probably be less than 300w. If you want to leave yourself a little headroom for the future (xfire, 79xx series), look at 600w units from Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, Rosewill that are certified bronze or better.
