500w is enough, but quality matters. PSU is the most important part of your build as it can sometimes take other components along with it, if it smokes... https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

Cooler Master Elite series belongs to the lowest quality, as you can see in the list. Not recommended.
Get a better unit.

Yes, 450W is plenty for that system.

Yes, a decent 450W PSU (e.g. an actual PSU, not merely a PSU-shaped object that is not good for its label) can easily run that system.
