I will go ahead and recommend either a EVGA Supernova G2 550W or 650W, not sure on the pricing in Euros, but it should be close to being in your budget, it will also provide the extra wattage for any overclocks on the CPU and GPU, as well as the external power cable that needs to be provided to your GPU (Either 6+2 Pin or 6 Pin), so that is a great choice for you.

Depending on the price, both of those PSUs will be more than enough for your build.

There is a high chance it is out of your budget, so either the one above will do nicely,

Or something like the EVGA 500B will do nicely, or, if you want a higher threshold, the EVGA 600B will also do.

You would have to stress this rig to max to reach, say, 350W usage. But your PSU must provide ample headroom, otherwise it would run at max power and overheat. Usually, at least 30% headroom is advised, preferably 50%. 520W sounds perfectly right for this rig.

I would not advise EVGA 500B, they are of much lower quality than EVGA B2 and G2.

The Seasonic advised above would be perfect. EVGA B2/G2 550W also.

Always forget about the B2's, my bad.

In that case, the EVGA Supernova G2 650W PSU Will do nicely, with having extra room on top if needed, it also provides enough 6+2 Pin Connections for both GPUs.
