PSU requirements are almost entirely driven by the graphics card.
Without a discrete graphics card, 150w is sufficient.
But, a 300-450w psu will not cost any more.
Overprovisioning a bit is a good idea. A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.
Whatever you do, buy only a good quality psu.
This list should help with that:

This chart will give you a good estimate of what you need.
It assumes a normal complement of devices.

It is not wrong to overprovision a bit, say 20%. A psu will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max rating.
And... A GTX770 is a considerably stronger graphics card than a R9-270
