You'll be good with a 650W or 750W. Even with those, you'll have enough headroom for upgrades in the future.

Corsair, Seasonic, and Antec make some pretty good power supplies. Check them out.

You can use that to get a pretty accurate score on what wattage you need, it'll also give you a recommendation.

I'd probably go with something like a corsair tx650v2 or the antec truepower new.

The Antec is an older version of the SeaSonic. The Silverstone is quality as well. The SeaSonic is the best deal of the bunch though, considering its modularity at that price point.

Anyway Kitarist, you have a ~300W system at most.

Not sure about the Silverstone but the Antec and the Seasonic are good units.

I would have recommended a 400-450W but there aren't many with 2 PCI-E connectors which the GTX670 needs. The good ones that have those aren't much cheaper than the ~500W PSUs I linked.
