Power supply help

I have a CIT power supply 750,Ive been advised to change it to something better.My specs are ,AMD Phenom 11 x550 Black edition.

Sapphire ATI 4890 graphics card

corsair xms2 4g memory.

Asus M4A78 Motherboard

1 TB. hard drive

samsung dvd drive.
Could anyone suggest how much power I really need to run this,and what power supply would be best Im on a tight budget.My present PWS isnt causing me any problems,Im just a bit concerned about some comments that have been made regarding its quality.

This at £53 is a brilliant deal - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-047-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098

Its more than you need, but will last well into the future.

Have bought the above power supply a bit confused though,as at present I have a aux 4 pin power supply to the motherboard,but in this PSU there isnt a aux 4 pin cable but something called CPU 4 pin or actually two 4 pins together Im thinking this must be the aux power Im looking for as the manual says if your board doesnt support 8 pin just connect the right connector to your 4 pin socket,whats the right hand one? they are numbered cpu 1 and 2. Id appreciate any help,

Only one of those 4pin connectors will go in, have a look at the end of them, the actual plastic pins are shaped.
