Hi buddy,

try https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator for a simple tool or https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator for a more advanced version.

The outervision tool worked a charm for me when I was wondering if i needed more than 600w for my bedroom PC.

you can run that build on a good 400w unit.

and since you are in the UK, just grab somethign like this.
