If I'm not mistaken, this is your first build, right? And you're basing your decision to go with a 450 watt power supply on what? Something you read or heard somewhere? Well, HAL9000 has built over 4000 computers (maybe over 5000 by now) and I think he knows what he's talking about when he says a 300 watt PSU will run your system fine, but you can go with 350 watts for more headroom for future expansion. From my own experiences (almost up to 60 computers), a good quality 300 watt power supply will run a nicely spec'd out computer fine.
Of course, it's your money and you can buy what you want, but you came here for suggestions and we've tried to give you some sound advice to save you a few bucks.
Really good 350 watt power supplies would come from Enermax, Fortron Source, HEC, PC Power & Cooling, Sparkle Power and Verax. I like Fortron Source / Sparkle Power because tests have shown they provide very clean power to the rails and they're actually able to provide more power than they're rated at...and they're very reasonably priced.
