The VS450 may be fine for the R9 380 seen as it operates with a single 12v rail but i wouldn't risk it, i recommend you get a 500W+ PSU and i wouldn't recommend Crosair, though they are a good brand, EVGA/seasonic are more reputable when it comes to PSU and they have some for pretty cheap over at Amazon. just make sure you get one with 80+ Certification (All good PSUs should have this). Also getting more than 500W will better future proof system...
