I have an Asus EAH4850 gpu, and my OCZ 600w power supply is more than enough to power this card (overclocked) along with 3 internal hard drives, and an overclocked
E6850 cpu.

OCZ and Corsair power supplies are always good choices. You could just as easily get by with a good 500 watt power supply though. Tagan, OCZ, Antec, Corsair, Silverstone, Enermax, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic and Thermaltake are some of the best brands in the business and you usually can't go wrong by purchasing a power supply from one of those companies. BFG, Coolermaster and Hiper also seem to have pretty good power supplies as well, based upon some of the reviews I've read on them, but most hard core computer enthusiasts seem to go with one of the brands in my first list.
