Something around the 500-600W mark I reckon.

Gives you a bit of room for upgrades as well.

A 450w would be fine. Personally I would go for 500-550 in order to enable easy upgrades in the future.

Say you get the corsair 520w then should you (for arguements sake) buy 2 extra hard drives, a 4890 and heavily clock the cpu then you are fine:)

The only reason I got the corsair 750w was that the modular 620w one was out of my budget and on this week only the 750w was the same price as the 650w. I see a psu as something that does not effect performance, however it does need to be a quality brand with the sufficient wattage and amps. I plan to keep my psu for a good few years!

Almost any 40 quid plus (respected) branded one. The be quiet is well balanced, I'd probably go for the corsair 520 or one of the ocz models.

OCZ StealthXStream 500w at 45 quid this week. Best mate uses this in nearly exactly the same system, no hassle with it
 
I'd go with a modular one, especially in the 900, which cable management isn't great, having less cables in there is always a bonus. It all depends on the OP's budget.
