Yeah, i knew that but just wanted to confirm. I think 450W is enough for my system. Can you suggest me something?

Corsair CX550M should be fine.

I wanted something cheaper since 450w is enough.

Get a decent PSU with ample wattage - a bad unit can kill a whole system in an instant. Insufficient wattage will result in the PSU running hot and thus shortening its lifespan.

OP should get a CX not a CXM. I know modularity is nice. But the CX is Halfbrige and the CXM is Double forward wich is kinda crappy. Especially when pushing it!

Correct, but considering OPs system of a 2400G and possibly an RX570 future upgrade it won't really matter.

If the Corsair CXM/CX is out of the budget then have a look at Be Quiet System Power 9 or Corsair VS450 (grey label)

The VS450 is available on that website you linked for 39 Euro. https://www.e-gate.gr/587595/corsair-vs450-450w-12cm-fan-80-white-cp-9020170-eu
