250W is well to low .

I would go for a 600W , so you are future proof for awhile.  But more importantly look at the Amps

Yes for the current system

but why buy what is needed and then when he decidees to upgrade to a dual core or quad core machine with SLI or something and then finds 500W is not enough.

Thats why I said future proof
