your power calculation is coming to be 400W-420W appx
however VX450 seems enough for this configuration(actually VX 450 is trimmed down version of 500W )
so it can handle this configuration
but if you plan to do some future upgrades or overclocking may be, then i should honestly recommend you to get either Seasonic 520W bronze PSU or Corsair VX 550W PSU
both of the above will be enough for you future upgrades

^Ya i know it can handle the rig easily...
But since i'm addin fan controller(Max watt per channel - 10W), It means 5*10W? I'm confused?

see bro
i have a vague idea about fan controllers power consumption
i am not sure whether it is 5*10W=50 in your case or not

to be precise, my ratings came out to be 407W excluding Sentry II
so its better to ask Asingh

Ya i've PMed him...

That "5x10" means that it can support 5x fans with 10W maximum control for power.

A typical fan will not consume more than 5W at peak load. So you can add your your 4x fans and easily be safe still.

thanks asingh for clearing things up

@malime
now i think its safe to go for VX 450W

Oh.. Thanks for the info...

Yipee...
Gonna order 560ti n sentry 2
