This is my first build so I have no experience with choosing individual parts. I got help from reddit but after reading around I've become very concerned with my choice of PSU. I've been assured by some that it is enough, though a 650W would be safer, but I need a second opinion. Here is my build:

Will that specific PSU be safe with my build? Or should I return in and get a 650W to be safe? Thanks in advance for any input!
