You will want a better power supply than the one that comes with your case ... check out the power supply forum for something to suit your budget. A Xclio 450W may work for your setup.
 
Why is it important to get a better power supply than the one provided with the case? I'm really curious.

Because your power supply is what runs all your other stuff. If you spend $1000 on components, but only $25 on your power supply, there's a good chance your shiny new computer won't even run properly.

Don't just go for one with a high wattage rating, either. Get something solid. I believe Antec is the brand to go for, generally, although there are a few others that the [H] doesn't crap all over.
