You're more than OK. GTX 780ti and i7 hitting 420W.

I just recently bought a Corsair RM450 (450 watts), I was wondering if it is sufficient to be in this system

CPU - AMD FX 6300

Video Card - MSI R9 380 2GB

Motherboard - Gigabyte 970A-D3P

RAM - 8gb Hyper FuryX

HDD - 1TB Seagate

SSD - 120GB Sandisk

I checked this system out in the cooler master PSU calculator, and it says it needs 419 watts, but I'm not quite sure how accurate it is.

I understand that I probably won't be able to upgrade too much in the future, but I'm just wondering how well the RM450 will run my system.

It might not be enough. Maybe if you don't overclock anything, but I wouldn't really go there.

I would have gone 500 Watts and maybe even 600 just to be safe if I was going to seriously over volt and over clock.  Thank you for being intelligent and not buying a CX powersupply, the LTT community applauds you!

Nah, not enough.

Holy shit guys, a GTX 680 and 3770k, both with overclocked hit 350W. He's fine.
