I wouldn't future-limit yourself. If you want it to be good for a while, get something with 650-700w. It won't use the wattage, but will often come with cables and connections to support beefier things in the future. 450w may be adequate, but if you're doing a build, don't shoot for " adequate". There's not really a cost difference between 450 and something in the 700w range. You'll thank yourself for having overhead someday.

I would also suggest getting something that's modular. Not necessary, but cleans things up and the convenience is worth the extra cost

This would be my suggestion
