You would need a QUALITY power suply more then watts.

I would recomend the OCZ 700W, or Silverstone 500W + or PC Power and Cooling 750W

I recommend the Corsair 520W for about $96.

It is made by Seasonic, has up to +12V@40A, modular & has a 5yr warranty.

These are beautiful, too!

That'll do it.

If you want more power (for whatever reason), look at the 650W Silverstone Olympia for $149.99 at Newegg. 54A on a single 12V rail.
