PCPartPicker always overstate numbers by at least 30%
But i would make the the suggestion to drop the M.2 NVME SSD as the drive is held back by software limitations which means its just as fast as a SATA AHCI SSD in the real world

The drive will only be faster synthetic benchmark or if you use Linux
For Windows users its completely pointless as its just as fast or slow as a much cheaper SATA AHCI SSD

Linus made a video about load times in games and they tested both a M.2 NVME and a SATA AHCI SSD and load times where exactly the same in all tests and games
Drop the Evo and spend money on something else.

PCPartPicker shows 403 watts with the setup with 1800x
It won't be 403W. It'll be much less. Even if it really were 400W, it would be fine - and the SF450 isn't limited to just 450W. That's just what it can deliver continuously. PCPartPicker calculates very unrealistically: it calculates for absolutely every component consuming its absolute highest possible power all at the same time. It's very inaccurate. No one will ever be able to get everything that's plugged into the PSU to be completely maxed out to the extreme limits simultaneously.

You only have 1 video card in a fairly mainstream system, and so this PSU is much more than enough.
