Power supply wattage?

I recently built my first PC.

The specs are:

MSI H110M Grenade

Corsair VS450

1TB WD 7200RPM

32gb M.2 by Liteon

MSI GTX 1050 2GB OC

Pentium G4560

8GB Kingston DDR4 2133MHz

1x Optical Drive and an LED Fan.

 

The problem I am having is that whenever I boot my PC, it shuts down after starting for a second and then I have to switch it on again. It starts at the second try. 

I reseted the Windows (10), but the problem persists.

Do you think I should exchange the PSU for a 500W one?

The PC is a month old.

Thanks for the help.

450w is more than enough for what you actually use. Is everything placed properly in its slot?(even the cables)

A VS450 is a pretty mediocre PSU but it shouldn't be causing these problems. Your system uses less than 200W under full load.

 

It sort of sounds like you need to reconnect a cable here or there.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
