I wouldn't go below 450W. Get a quality PSU - EVGA, XFX, Seasonic.

I don't believe a FM2 socket CPU is going to work on a AM3+ socket motherboard

you need anther board for that CPU , then get a quality PSU 450 watts plus , maybe 500 if you plan on adding a gpu later on . Seasonic , Corsair or Antec are good .
