I recommend a 750 watt with that video card configuration. I also recommend you choose from one of the following PSU units:

Seasonic - any model
Corsair - any model
Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only
Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only
PC Power & Cooling - any model
Silverstone - any model
