Make sure the PSU that you get is at least 500W (I'd go for 600+ in case you ever upgrade other stuff later on, plus it's good to have a little extra). You also will want to consider the efficiency rating (80%+ efficient is good).

 

There are other features to check for (all cost money of course), but head over to http://www.3dgameman.com and watch a few PSU video reviews.
