Power Supply Woes

[NutJob3869]

I am have started building a budget gaming PC but I don't know what power supply to go with. I know you're not supposed to cheap-out on this part of the build but I would like to save as much money as possible and I don't really care about silent operation and other frills. I just want something that won't nuke my PC, is from a reputable manufacturer, has 6-pin PCIE power, and outputs around 400-500 watts.

 

My Specs are (or will be)

i5 4460

GTX 1060 6gb or RX 580 4gb (I haven't decided yet, probably whichever one I can get a deal on)

8gb RAM 

2 Hard drives

2 case fans

 

I think the PC shouldn't draw much over 300 watts but I'm not sure, I'm pretty new to PC building. Thanks in advance for your response

I have a corsair CX430. Does the job fine. Also have a gtx1060, so there wont be any problems with that. you can always get a modular psu. But not sure if its worth getting.

The always cheap and available CX450 is a good choice.
