Most PSU's rating is only max, and that is on a good day lets say. I have a 1100 watt running my system and it is pretty much likes yours listed. I would recommend a minumim of double what the draw is, or at least 150%. You would be safe with any name brand PSU that is over 600W, but still I would recommend at least 750-900.
