about that psu i saw GN vids tells that 450 is bare minimum for even a gtx 1080 so i bought it

Technically, for strictly gaming build, 450W are enough for almost anything you can get. But even then not all 450-550W PSUs are equal, that PSU you've bought are one of the worst, it's simply dangerous for any modern build. Smth like Corsair CX would be way more appropriate. It's not only about wattage, evaluating a PSU quality is very complicated matter. See this thread for some advice :

What region? A lot of us on here are really quite proficient at finding quality parts for good prices, even in other countries.

The model that i bought is limited to Vietnam's pc market so...

Ok, so we should be investigating the options in Vietnam then. That narrows it down a lot.

You need 550w minimum. I would suggest 600w-650w just to be safe if you are going to have a bunch of LED fans and several HDD's. 

I would agree.  Spend an extra few buck and get a better and more powerful PSU.  If nothing else, it will leave room on the table for future upgrades and give you piece of mind that you won't find yourself running into power issues or having a poor quality PSU short out your entire system.
