I wouldn't, you have enough to run the system under gaming loads but overclocking may stress it a bit too much. If you want the ability to do so I'd save up and grab the CX 550W.
The RX 480 requires at minimum a 450W PSU. However it never hurts to have a bit extra to account for any other devices beyond the normal system setup and if you decide to overclock it.

Do you have a budget you want to keep to on a PSU? I would probably recommend a 550W PSU.

Yes, most requirements are a bit higher since not everyone uses higher quality PSU's. The Corsair CX 450W is a good quality unit and will be enough for that system.
