An E6700 (2.66Ghz) with an overclocked 8600GT won't use anymore than 300W at full load.

Go for an efficient 400W PSU such as these. All are from reputable companies and are 80+ Certified.

550-600w should be fine, get a little more for upgradability. get better vga card too, there are much better cards for minimal price increase.
