Quad core with a more ram but a normal video card won't need a very robust power supply, 450W would be plenty.

You should make sure and get the most efficient one possible though, look for ones that tout 80 or 85% efficiency under load. Seasonic is a good brand.

Keep the noise in mind too, the default Intel cooler isn't very quiet, and different cases generate different levels of noise. Every dB would make a difference in a room full of computers.
