They are generally pretty close. It's more of a guideline than exact values. So I always advice to just get more than you need which you did and that 450w psu will do nicely. It seems people have also managed to fit the stock spire cooler in the 202 just wanted to let you know.

their PSU calculation is alright, better than those who brand themselves "PSU calculator" anyway

 

but the build looks bad. Single channel memory is bad for performance especially on Ryzen, RX 5700 can save you money (say $70) without being noticeably slower, at the cost of worse hardware video encoder (not as good for streaming or recording as a result), Noctua L9 has an AM4 version.

I thought maybe with an 400 watt powersupply i could get away with it and save some money. 

don't cut too close, I dont see cheaper units anyway

Is the XT version worth it if u only pay 70$ more?

I'd rather spend that money on something else, namely higher spec memory (higher frequency/lower timings) and better board (the MSI B450 ITX)

And wont the PCI-e 4.0 cause any problems with this Motherboard?

it's backwards compatible, both ways
