A decent one, like a Corsair CX450, yes. A shitty one like MSTech or HKC, no.

450 Watts would do it without an issue. but as @NelizMastr said if you get a bad one it will struggle. 80+ Bronze from a reputable brand like EVGA, Corsair 

All brands are equally capable of selling crap, so recommending by brand makes no sense. Makes as much sense as recommending a GPU from a reputable brand. Corsair has the VS, and EVGA has the B1, B3, BT, BV, N1, W1, NEX-B, all of which are crap.

I've had a Seasonic 550watt PSU for the last 5 years, and it's still good. 5 year warranty too.

I didn't ever think that Seasonic was a "off brand", they seem to be quite well known, and it seems just as premium as the Corsair PSU's that I've had...

Seasonic is far from "off-brand." That's like saying Lexus is an "off-brand" car company.

If we're ignoring how imbalanced that system is, yes, a decent-quality 450W unit can power it. What PSU do you have?

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

Definitely link us a product page to it or give us the model cuz Corsair has a few different 450W units.

Sorry, I have an Antec BP450S, not a Corsair one

That is a pretty bad PSU... 

 

Definitely replace with a newer and better unit. A Corsair CX450 should do fine. If you can't afford that then get a B350 Tomahawk or some other cheaper board. You don't need X370 on Ryzen unless you want SLI or better VRMs, and the board you're looking at is a B350 board with X370 written on top of B350, offering no other benefits apart from SLI. It has super weak VRMs as well. Definitely not a good buy for the money when B350 boards for less money will do just as well.
