Personally, I would say you'll be fine.

 

Check out this PSU calculator. I quickly entered some of your system details.

If you are having trouble with keeping track of all of your parts, I highly recommend using:

Seasonic Gs are really good but they're a bit noisy.

 

If you can get a M12II EVO for a bit less, that on's bronze but it's fully modular and still great, and not as loud.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

I don't think he wants to get a new PSU because of noise. Just wants to get a new one if he needs more watts/power/juice.

Either way the G is really good
