though 400w would be enough i would recommend something around 550 watts if you think you will ever upgrade that pc again. the lower wattage psu will run the system now but not a better gpu later on if you decide to go that way. 550w is a good sweet spot for power and will allow for a good gpu upgrade later on such as a gtx 970 or any of the r9-270/280 series.

just my opinion on the matter but it is what i would do. simply take the recommendations above and and look at the 550w or more models. a little extra power won't hurt the system nor effect performance unless you go crazy and drop a 1000w+ psu into it :)
