Minimum PSU for that card is a 500W.
I'd get a 600W to be safe.
Oh and if you building a gaming rig i'd suggest and i5 2500k or i7 2600k!

Just get a 600w.
It will pay of in the future if you plan on having this rig for a long time.

A 550w PSU is fine for that rig, just make sure it is 80 plus bronze at least.
If it isn't, then you would have more luck going with a 600w + power supply.
Make sure, what ever wattage PSU you get, that it is a well known brand like Corsair, Antec, Coolermaster or OCZ.

700W PSU is a great choice. You don't have to worry about the PSU supporting future upgrades
