The LEPA 500W which is only $37 at newegg would be good enough for your setup.
BTW, if you're a gamer, then getting at least a sapphire HD7770 1 gb ($100 after rebate at newegg) would be a good idea.
If you have already bought it then never mind but if you haven't bought some things yet then I suggest that you get 8GB of RAM but then get a higher frequency RAM. Then also you won't need a HD 5450 the APU will be fine on its own unless you want multiple monitors. For a power supply I suggest a ZALMAN ZM500 - GS 500W Power supply here's a link:

Any branded 400w+ psu will be fine pretty sure you will need the 8 pin 12v connector, adapters are available though for few bucks on amazon if you want to use a 4 pin unit
Step the video card up to the AMD 78xx or 79xx series video card and increase your power supply to handle the new video card and you will be better off.
