450 watts sounds good to me. What I've read lately is that if you're building a new pc or replacing an old power supply you should opt for a 500 watt to make sure you cover your butt. So I think you'll be just fine.
To know specifically though, you need to research your MoBo; CPU; CD/DVD drives; graphics card; audio card; etc individually and write down their power consumption needs and just add them up. That will give you a close number to what you actually need as a minimum.
Hope this helps.
