As stated above... along these lines.

Whata Beauty!
 
Up the PSU to 700-800w if going xfire in the future, otherwise the one thereaperguy has speced should be fine tho might be worth upping to the 620w modular version of that PSU(£80).
 
If you're going to go for a 620w, you may as well get a 750w, mainly because a 520w will handle an overclocked card and chip without any issues. 620w is just a 'safety net' which will never be used, so for the extra cash you may as well get the 750w if you ever want to X-fire.
