Does my build need a 600W PSU or higher PSU? (PC Part Picker list in Description)

In the comments of this newegg Q&A section people have said it needs a 600W or higher PSU. My build on PC part picker says that my whole build will only take up about 423W of power. I would really prefer to get a 500W PSU as it makes my build a bit cheaper, but I want to make sure that all my components can draw as much power as they need.

Oh, and if anyone has any improvements to this build that keep it around the same price, I'd love to hear them.

Solution
a 400w psu would even work, though not recomended. when you add up all the wattage the components use, you get about 369 when you factor in the ram, hdd, mobo, fans, etc.
