seon123, which of the three power supplies do you recommend?

Thanks for the reply, can you explain why I should use the 500W power supply though, please?. It helps me learn so I don't run into problems like this in the future.

I'm planning to build a gaming pc and came across a bump in the road, I made a pc build on pcpartpicker.com and it said the estimated number of voltage usage is 270 watts. Should I go for a 300 watt power supply, a 400 watt power supply or a 500 watt power supply? To be honest, I'm just getting into pc gaming and don't understand how picking the right parts and components to put together to optimize the best performance my pc build is capable of. I also chose the parts based on gaming pc build videos I watched on Youtube. I don't want to spend more money than I need to on a power supply and also don't want to the run the risk of burning my house down because my power supply catches on fire from outputting too much voltage. Some tips from a pro would really be appreciated, my pc build would benefit a ton as well, and thanks to anyone to sends me an answer, It helps out alot.
