Is this power supply sufficient?

Hi people.

I'm planning on building a new HTPC/Gaming PC (Mainly to be used for HTPC).

As a result, I'd like to keep power usage down. The config I think I'm going to go for is this:
Component Link
Intel i5 3350p 3.1Ghz (Ivybridge) link
Gigabyte GA-Z77N-Wifi Motherboard ITX link
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Low Profile link
Be Quiet Pure Power 430W Modular PSU link
Bitphenix Prodigy ITX Case link
Blu-Ray player link
XFX HD 7870 DD 2GB link

Ideally I want to order today, but I need to check that the PSU will be sufficient. Pretty sure it will be, but better safe than sorry, so I thought I'd check with your vast knowledge!

Thanks!

for your peace of mind, get 550w, not familiar with the case, so im not sure if size matters to you.

The case was a toss-up between that and the Coolermaster Elite 120, as I wanted something pretty small. I figured with the Prodigy, although it's more expensive, there would be a bit more space for airflow.

As I'll be running mITX and Ivybridge instead of Sandybridge, thought that would buy me a bit more wiggle on the overall power usage.

Ok taking your advice and going for the 530W version. Would love to have got the Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 550W PSU, but at double the price, it pushes my budget a little too far.

Thanks
