Hello Everyone.

I have decided to build a new desktop computer that i can use for normal designing (photoshop, after effects & sony vegas pro) and gaming (csgo, pubg and rust) purpose.

This is the build that i am having in my mind (little bit on budget):
Intel Core i5 8400 Processor (6 cores more than enough i guess)
Gigabyte B360M-DS3H Motherboard (seems to be one of the best in budget)
Thermaltake Litepower 450W Power Supply (80+% efficiency)
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 RAM (overall good standing)
Palit Geforce GTX 1050Ti StormX 4GB Graphics Card (cheapest available in my country)
KINGSTON UV500 240GB SSD (cheaper recognizable brand available)
WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLUE 7200RPM 1TB Hard Disk (good reputation)
ARMAGGEDDON DECATRON T3Z Casing (no need to be fancy, i want more ventilation and this can hold 5 fans in it)

If anyone find any of these products under performing please let me know along with the alternative to that.

Thank you.

absolutely wrong my friend.
the power supply will only draw what the PC needs.
a 1000W power supply CAN supply 1000W if NEEDED to. if the draw of the pc is 250W the power supply will draw @300 (50W or 20% waste on a bronze PSU) from the wall and provide the required voltage to the PC.

you could use a 1600W PSU and the afore mentioned 250W system will only draw what it needs (250W) and the waste from the innefficiency. the seasonic is gold efficiency wasting only 10%, so a 250W draw would require 275W from the wall. if the draw should increase to 600W, the the PSU would draw 660W from the wall to provide it. 60W or 10% as waste...
I am from Sri Lanka, South Asia.

Budget is around 900-1000$. Cheapest is best but I'm not going to go for unbranded or random unknown branded stuffs....
Preferring Intel Processor, Nvidia graphics card, ssd+hdd. I am not going to overclock anything so normal budget motherboard with good cooling is enough.

get a larger PSU, the actual use of the unit will draw the same or less than a 400W power supply, the seasonic will draw even less being more efficient.

All power supplies run less efficiently the closer to their rated wattage. if the PC requires 300W and you only get a 400W PSU the PSU will be operating at 75% capacity all the time and will waste more power as heat. same PC with the seasonic gold in it would be running at 50%, heating less and wasting less power to provide the same wattage.
