If it's from a good brand(like corsair antec or seasonic)it should be enough. If it's from a more general brand better be safe than sorry and go with 550 or 600watts

If the 450watt PSU has more than 30 amps on the 12v rail, it should be work just fine. They over estimate the PSU usage for a video card a lot so People don't buy cheapo PSU that has 16amps on the rail and then blame AMD/Nvidia for the problem.

If I had to choose between a 450Watt with 40amps on the 12v rail or a 700Watt with 20amps on the 12v rail, I would choose the 450watt with 40amps.

AMD recommends 500 Watt or greater power supply with 1x6PIN PCIe connector.
