Need power supply suggestion

Hi. My current power supply died. So I need to buy one ASAP. My specs are :

 

Ryzen 3 3200g with vega 8 Graphics

Gigabyte A-320 motherboard

2x4GB 2666 MHz Ram

1 TB HDD

 

I have a very limited budget. So within the PSUs I can effort either I can get a normal 450 watt power supply or a better 200 watt psu. I'm thinking about going for the 200 one. Newegg PSU calculator says I need a 147 watt psu. As I don't have any graphics card and don't plan to upgrade any time soon I think 200 watt one will be enough. Which one should I choose?

PSU calculators are VERY rough, they should only be used to get very rough ideas of wattages.

Go for the 450, you'll thank yourself later.

So your better 200W is actually 96W and the normal 450W is 192W. Those are utter garbage. What do you consider bad if those are good enough for you?
