Here is a handy chart which indicates that a 450w psu would be appropriate:

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

Of more importance is that you buy only a QUALITY PSU.
Here is one list:
I like the Seasonic focus in 450 or 550w
