In reality is 450 watts enough for a Oc'ed Ryzen 1600 and 1050 TI

I am on a weird budget that can not rise any higher what so ever.
I am upgrading from a G4560 to a Ryzen 1600.
After the upgrade I will sell the G4560 and it's motherboard for a higher capacity hard drive.
I am keeping my 1050 Ti that I bought with the G4560.

The only problem is, I don't know if the Ryzen 1600 will be okay my 450 watt PSU.
My current PSU is a "EVGA BV Series 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE 100-BV-0450-K1".

Will the 450 watts feed my whole system that consist of 1x8 GB ddr4 @2400, Ryzen 1600 OC'ed and a 1050 Ti OC'ed to the Limit of 1911 MHZ?

I have personally estimated the total system power consumption reaching a total of 385 watts max and I have used the Cool Master power supply calculator online and the results are:
Load Wattage: 329 W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 379 W
It also recommends some 460 watt Cooler Master Elite PSU.

My Ryzen motherboard upgrade is this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144019

I totally agree with Zerk that you won't see more than 250W draw. If you do some really high overclock of CPU and graphics you might be able to reach 300W peak!

Can't comment on the PSU quality. I know I wouldn't hesitate to buy that EVGA PSU myself, if the price was right.

Are you sure, I have seen reviews about the power supply and there are people saying that is powers off while they are using it. The guy that was complaining said that he had a Ryzen 1700 and a "1gb AMD GPU" and it would restart his pc during load.
Are you certain that it will be fine, or is there like a $40 - $45 psu that is any better? I bought the PSU for about $25.

Alright man, thank you for the reassurance. I will test everything when I get it.
