Any suggestions for around 400w?

My setup scored 382 watts on the cooler master power supply calculator so I figured I'd get a PSU with a little extra just in case future upgrades require more.  Any suggestions on the brand or specific model I should get?  (I also don't know anything about PSUs so any help on how much wattage (or any other specifics) I should get would be appreciated.)

 

Here's my setup:

 

Motherboard:                   MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150                                  $116

CPU:                                   Intel Core i7-4790K Processor                                                     $339

CPU Cooler:                      Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler                               $95

Graphics Card:                 MSI GTX 970 gaming 4G GeForce                                               $350

RAM:                                  HyperX Fury Red Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)                                     $86

SSD:                                   Samsung 850 PRO-Series 512GB 2.5"                                         $254

Hard Drive:                        WD Green 2TB                                                                                 $74

Case:                                    Noctis 450                                                                                             $139

Never had a problem with EVGA and if you don't want gold you can get the bronze version. I trust these guys for I have never had a problem with these power supplies.

 

For around 400-500 watts they have a version for that:

EVGA, Corsair and Seasonic are all good brands.

be sure to get at least an 80+ Bronze PSU (Above Bronze you will have Silver and Gold)

Anything by Seasonic really. Corsair CX are to be avoided if possible. Get 500W just to so you future proof against deterioration.

Antec High Current Gamer 620W or 520W - whichever is cheaper. EVGA 550W GS where possible is also good. Check out the PSU link in my sig for anything you're looking at.

400W PSU is too marginal for your system. I'd suggest a 500-650W PSU. EVGA Supernova 650W G1 is my pick.
