I'd recommend a GTX 1050 if you're wanting some gaming from it, but that CPU might not get the most from it anyway.

The next one down and is very budget is the GT 1030. Avoid the GT 710 or R5 230 / R7 240 budget cards. They're even worse than the GT 1030.

I can recommend the Corsair CX450M as a reasonable PSU. It's 80+ Bronze rated, and semi-modular. At a similar price and quality level is the Seasonic SS-430ST, which is not modular. If you go with a minimum of Bronze rated PSUs from reliable brands, you're unlikely to get PSU issues. Whatever you choose, I would suggest a minimum of 400W if going with the GTX 1050, and perhaps a minimum of 350W if going with the GT 1030.
