You could just go with a 300 watt or possibly a 350 if you going to upgrade some more but not crazy upgrades.

RADEON™ 9800 Series of products requires connection to your PC's internal power supply for operation. Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure your system has an adequate power supply. Otherwise, ATI recommends a 300-Watt power supply or greater to ensure normal system operation where a number of other internal devices are installed.

Why not get something good now and not worry?
I started with a cheap 350 and though "why not eh?".
Guess what? PSU failure. Got myself a good one, problem solved.
You could mabey get away with a good quality 250, depending on the number of other devices.
I would feel uncomfortable running what he has now plus some HDD's and fans.
