The recommended system power supply is 400w, so your cooler master elite psu should do it pretty well. You also mention that you were going to upgrade later, i suggest maybe getting a 550w or 600w psu when you upgrade just to give you more head room if you want to upgrade to anything that requires more power consumption. But for now you should be pretty good with all the things you got.

The Cooler Master Elite is a Tier 4 PSU. Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.

Get a better quality PSU that is Tier 1 or 2 like a Seasonic S12II-620 or a XFX TS PSU.
