Your CPU has a 95W TDP, your CPU cooler about 10W, motherboard must be 60 or 70W, 2x 7200 RPM is 40W, that's about 215W, with the graphics card it goes for around 400W. I'd recommend a 650W PSU, this one:

I wouldn't rely on those PSUs...
Anything with 450 or 550W will be a push. PSUs should have about 40% free room from the actual power consumption of the whole system. So this system draws about just a little bit over 400W but we'll do it with 400W. 40% of 400W is 160W. 400W+160W is 560W. I think it would be much better for him to go with a 650W PSU just like the one I've recommended:

550W is more than enough , and they are all high quality , made by SEASONIC.

Yes I know that Seasonic makes high quality PSUs. But so does EVGA, specially this one I've shown you. I think it would be safer to spend a little more and go with a 650W Gold Certified and Full Modular PSU to be fair...
