Depends if he is ever going to upgrade or not (I had to upgrade my 600w to 750w for my new Graphics card).
But I do agree that 850w might be a bit too much since his card uses under 400w according to Newegg, 600-700w sound be perfect.

500w power supply from top notch brand is usually enough to power any graphics card. However if he's going to do some upgrades and or overclock then yeah 600+ Corsair,Sessonic,Antec,Enermax,XFX is the way to go. I prefer Seasonic becuause Corsair and XFX are also made by Seasonic.
850w would only make sense if you plan to use sli or crossfire.
Wait are we just ignoring the fact that this Corpse guy actually suggested Vista?
Not sure if anyone mentioned but you may want to wait until june. New graphics cards on a new node from both camps. Nvidias announcement should be this friday.
