I filled in all your information you gave and I found out that a PSU of 400w would be enough. Altough it's nice to have some more. You PSU have to work less when you get more Watt and that wil cause less noise coming from your PSU. Also for upgrades it's nice to have.

Personaly I would go with this one...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020090-UK-RM550X-Modular-Supply/dp/B015PWMRI0?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAI3INFIGIMW2PG6XA&tag=shoprev-uk-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B015PWMRI0?ascsubtag=[site|thauk[cat|[art|[pid|B015PWMRI0[tid|14839004226295001[bbc|LESPRIX

You can also get the 650w and the 750w from these series. it's gold certified so that's okay for that price. Fully modulair for your pc is also nice for some cleaner looks. Corsair is a good PSU brand.
Btw, this PSU also have 0 RMP fan mode that means that the fan doesn't have to spin when it doesn't have to.
With 10 years of warranty this should be a perfect PSU.

Never save money with PSU's. It's the hearth of your PC. If it dies it can take PC parts with it!
