About 500 watts will suit you, of a good high quality powers supply. I would go higher for headroom, and for overclocking, may I reccomend This? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817379003 Review Here

awesome thanks for the help guys..aslo can someone explain me what this means..i was lurking the GPU system requirements and i found this:

450W PCI Express-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 30A or more.

not sure what that means :( how do i check if a power supply meets that?

I'd recommend any of the OCZ GameXStream series PSU's. They all have high amp ratings on their +12V rails, and they keep pretty cool with a 120mm fan. Another good option is the Antec TruePower Trio series: 3 +12V rails with good amp ratings across all of them. They're all mid-range PSU's, selling for around 130 a piece (100 with rebates I've seen lately). Both of these series have PCI-express connectors, so you don't have to worry about plug compatibility.
