it is hard to give you something without knowing what video you are going to use but if you intend to use a good mid range card something like this should suffice

Re: Chosing the Right PSU

Any of those power supplies will do nicely and still give you head room to add a video card later on

Could I find one that is slightly cheaper, though if not those are great options
