I'd say a 650w from any good manufacturer:
Corsair, Silverstone, Enermax would do it :)

It's a power hungry card, though not quite as power hungry as the 4870X2

Have you considered the 5870? or the 5970 coming out next month apparently, which is basically a 5870X2 :S but would probably have the low power consumptions that the new cards come with. Think the GT300 is coming out soon too, but apparently that's anytime in Q1 2010 :S

I have moved across the ditch. Now residing in Melbourne as a VOIP/Video Technical Trainer/Engineer.
