Yup, you'll need more.

I'd go with a 500watt at a minimum...just for future upgrades.

However, don't go cheap on a power supply

Get a SilverStone or a ThermalTake..there are a couple of others you can go, but I highly recommend both of those brands

Enermax (i believe this is the company) is also extremely well reknowned for PSUs

Do you know how much a 500 watt power is going to cost? And can it fit with every case?
