Is it worth saving £20 on the PSU by getting a Corsair CX 450M instead?

Having a GPU won't benefit the processing I will be doing other than gaming.

Thank you. I will make that change.

They would be more single core heavy hence why I am leaning away from using a Ryzen as the i7 single core performs better. However, I wouldn't be averse to saving money on a cheaper motherboard and cpu in purchasing the Ryzen 7 1700

I am a university student in the UK and want to build a desktop that can handle heavy multi tasking and processes such as scientific modelling or analysis as well as have 'some' abilities in the gaming department. My current budget is flexible but I would prefer to save as much as possible from the current total without making huge sacrifices.
