You need a good 650w or greater PSU.

If I had to pick two out for you,

Modular - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-001-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

Non-modular - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

As above. Also for future reference you can have a look at the extreme outervision psu calculator, as found here: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

Just fill in your system specs and it will give you a fairly good idea what you need.

The corsair TX series are good PSU's. The 750w would be more than adequate for your needs

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 OC Twin FrozR III Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cardx2
MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair Graphite 600T Midi Tower Case - Limited Edition White
LG BH10LS38 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Lightscribe Drive - Black (Retail)
Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler (Socket Intel LGA 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AMD AM2 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM3+)
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX)

the 750 would run it no prob?

Get a XFX, cheaper and also they have a place in Northampton so you dont have to send the psu of to the Netherlands if theres ever a problem.

[stulid]

They are good also, just not modular and when dealing with PSU's of this capacity you find they have a lot of cables.
