any decent 650w will be fine.

For a single card setup you want a decent 550W unit. If you're running high OCs on the CPU/GPU, you might want to consider 650W as a bit of headroom.

Do you want a modular PSU or non-modular?

Personally I'm using EVGA or Superflower PSUs in all of my systems. You could also look at the Superflower HX550/650 Golden Green PSUs, but I fould the CPU cable to be a touch on the short side. Not an issue in a small case, but I'd be wary if you have a tall case with the PSU at the bottom.

If you're going to go with the EVGA psu's got for the G2 or the P2 models, as they are the ones manufactured by superflower. Antec PSU's are great value and most, if not all of them are made by Seasonic. But the EVGA's have a 10 year warranty as well. Just make sure that you register the product with EVGA.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the replies guys

The 10-year warranty is great, but is only available on the 750W+ models. Still, the 7 years warranty on the G2 650W is better than 5 on the GS 650W.

I prefer the cables on the G2/P2 series as I'm not a fan of the ribbon cables Seasonic use. That's just my personal preference though.

Just make sure you register the product to take advantage of the warranty.
