What is your country or what retailers are you purchasing from? What is your budget?
As a start, look for a Corsair CX450, Corsair CX550, Corsair CX450M, Corsair CX550M, be Quiet! Pure Power 10 400w or 500w, or Cooler Master MasterWatt 550.

Seasonic M12II-520 or 620 Evo Edition 80+ Bronze fully modular PSU is an option as well. Have 520W model for myself and it's rock solid. Also is wallet friendly.

Oh I see, thanks for the suggestion I am currently deciding which should I buy The Corsair CX550M (Grey label) or the Seasonic M12II-520

The CX550M has about 70W more on the +12V rail. Seasonic has only 480W. Corsair one would allow more upgradability, a beefier GPU, for example. Then again, Seasonic uses better internal parts, such as all Japanese capacitors. To be honest, can't go wrong with either of them, so I can just say - pick whichever is cheaper from the two. Another plus for the Seasonic unit is that it is fully modular, which means good news for cable management. M12II's are about 8 years old now, think they were released in 2010 or 09. Grey label CXM is a newer PSU. Both come with 5 year warranty.
Oh, and I checked both PSU's, the Seasonic variant is 50 cents cheaper (the 620W variant, not 520) than the CX550W. About $60 on US Amazon.

Easily the CX550M. The M12ii-520 electrical performance isn't good, which affects your components' lifespan. The M12ii-520 is also missing important protections that the CX550M does.
The "Japanese" caps in the m12ii don't mean much, because your PSU lifespan depends on way more things than just the capacitors, and those japanese caps are still made in China, not much better than the ones used in the CX550M.
The CX550M is a much better choice than the M12ii/s12ii, though 450w is all that's necessary for your system.
