Im building a PC to the specs of your machine.

I don't think his PSU's are enough to keep your machine stable.

Not sure what your PSU is/was though, but my minimum spec psu would be a true 500w PSU but 550 or 600 would be far more comfortable.
Lets see what the others say.

Thanks! Says 400w should be just fine

So to be safe ill go with a 450w for the time till i can buy a 550w

No problem.

A 450w psu doesn't mean you get 450w on your 12v rail. 12v rail is the most important aspect to look for when buying a psu. A good quality 450w such as Seasonic, corsair etc should be good enough to power your system but I would suggest at least 550w. You rather have more power than you don't need than have power that you need but don't have.

Few reviews recommend this psu..its a entry level but is good choice for mid range rig like mine.

And what got me was the 3year warranty
