Or, if you want to save me some time you can have a look at my build and decide whether a 450 Watt PSU is ok for it

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£74.62 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£44.15 @ Amazon UK)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) (£71.18)
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN881ND 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter (£10.20)
Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Red LED Mid-Tower Gaming Case (£37.98)
GPU: Asus GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card (£109.98)

and one more 120mm LED fan that came with the case

That depends on how good or bad a PSU you get.

If you get a Diablotek, you can blow up your computer on the first day. If you buy something decent (most stuff from Corsair, XFX, Antec and other popular and generally good brands), you should be ok for at least a few years. If you buy something better than that (upper-end PSUs from said popular brands with good reputations for PSUs - most of those vendors simply rebadge units from top OEMs like Seasonic and Delta) then you might never need to worry about the PSU again unless you do some major upgrades.
