The difference is CX can deliver its true wattage while yours piko might not. Quality brand like Corsair makes Good PSUs, The AX HX series are even better PSU.
For your hardware configuration a 400Watt Quality PSU can handle it!
But you want to have some room.
If cx 500 isn't enough or you don't feel comfortable you can buy the CX600 I have seen people running 7970 with that :)

also, looking at my previous psu is this psu really an upgrade? my old psu was 700watts but some one told me that watts doesnt matter its the 12v rail or something like that...and also..im planning to upgrade to an amd fx 8120 processor..do you think this will handle it?
