PSU Recommend or existing OK

[Kurgen]

ok my turn to be beaten in the PSU thread, I have a small budget around £400 -£450 to build a PC base unit for a vinyl cutter, office etc. so nothing demanding. I have specced out below what i think is the best value, i left out ryzen since you need a separate GPU

Whats the min PSU i need for this setup and a list of a couple to choose from and/or is the existing one any good

final update the NZXT case doesn't have any SSD mounts, which suggests its ancient.. so updated to a Bequiet case keeps me within £450

I want 2 exposed 5,25" drives for card reader and DVD Writer so choice is limited and don't want it looking like a gaming case
