Here are the components im going to be using.

 

MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard (H110M Gaming)

Intel Core i5-7500 LGA 1151 7th Gen Core Desktop Processor (BX80677I57500)

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Red (CMK16GX4M2A2400C16R)

Little tip here, put everything you got into a PC-part-picker list, and it should tell you the estimated wattage used. 

 

Then buy a PSU a bit higher than that, and you're set.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

some Corsair grey label CXm, or seasonic s12ii at about 450W to 500W should be enough

That system has such a modest power draw that you can power it on a quality 350w like the Seasonic G 360 or Super Flower Golden Green 350w. Can you provide a link to store(s) you can buy from, so we can give you a recommendation based on what's available to you?

The Corsair CX450M is a good budget option. https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX450M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72VXE6/

The EVGA Supernova 450w B3 is another budget option with full modularity. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Modular-Warranty-Compact-220-B3-0450-V1/dp/B06ZY55HPT/
