I cannot give you a precise answer but, in general, you shouldn't use a power supply of less than 400 Watts for today's modern PC's, packed with a multi-GHz CPU, several hard disks and CD/DVD-ROM's and a latest-technology video card...

I'm with Joe on this one. This card isn't as power thirsty as some of the newer cards, but your gonna need 350+ watts depending on the number of other devices and the processor your running. Since its more than wattage, check out this walkthough on PSUs.
