It would help to know what the rest of your system is. With just a single RX-480, and assuming a LGA-1150 platform (Skylake) or 1151 (Haswell, Haswell-Refresh/Devil's Canyon) I'd say a 450-550w PSU would be enough power. AS to what PSU to get, you really don't want to go too cheap.

A slightly more expensive model is this one: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

A cheaper one would be a Corsair CXM-550

Then I'll stand by my recommendations :) The difference between the 745 and the 480 will be night and day too.

I see... no explanation of why I didn't acknowledge the option you presented. I can't really say how good the CoolerMaster PSU is. There's very little data out there (especially in English) and what little I seen tends to say it isn't all that great. It might be okay, but I'm not so sure with the RX-480 on the line. I tend to follow the philosophy of don't go too cheap on the PSU, as I have seen cheap units that failed and took parts out with them.
