The best resource (better than the ones posted) is:

http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26003.pdf

(6MB PDF file).

It is a crucial paper and, among much else, provides an algorithm which 
allows you to work out exactly how much power you need.

Off the top of my head I would recommend a 350W PSU; too big is better 
than too small. My XP2000+ system has a 300W one but only one HD and 
one CD-RW drive (those together use about 45W as I remember).
