You're getting responses which vary, however to conclude the system you have mentioned will run with a decent quality 400W PSU.

If you're going to purchase a power supply, ensure you don't buy any branded PSU with the highest watts, ensure you buy a quality unit. SeaSonic units are top quality power supplies, followed by XFX as all XFX PSUs are manufactured by SeaSonic. Try purchasing any of the following brands:

  • SeaSonic
  • XFX
  • Antec
  • Corsair (try to avoid the CX series)
  • EVGA

  • You could purchase a 400W PSU, or perhaps a 550W to consider future upgrades to your system.

    All the best. :)

    I only see ~200W worth of hardware there at peak dissipation, so nearly any PSU will do the job, but as always, it is best practice to buy a properly made PSU made from good quality components with tight tolerances, this will provide clean stable power for many years. Cheap PSUs don't pay in the long run.

    I recommend the Seasonic G 360W.
