Power consumption should be somewhere around 210-240w at the wall I reckon so a decent 400-450w psu would manage easily enough while staying quiet.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
If you want modular you are looking at considerably more money for a quality unit and there is a lack of lower power units available here. There is the EVGA Supernova GS 550w which is a Seasonic built unit with a single 12v rail of 540w and has a 5 year warranty. We have had reports of it from users on here that the fan can be noisey. That coupled with the high normal price means I don't normally recommend it but it has a significant saving at the moment. Review here.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
You could go lower but then the fan may start getting noisey during long gaming sessions if you cut it too close. I really wouldn't go any lower than this:-
