Graphics card should be fine for Battlefield 4 @ 1080p.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most important factor.

Since you're getting an Intel Haswell CPU you may want to get a PSU that supports Haswell's C6/C7 sleep...

The cx430 PSU has only one pcie connector (the 760 needs 2), and you
don't have a lot of +12v amp headroom, not enough to stress via OC, etc,
you should upgrade.

What's your budget - don't think I can find a quality 500w unit for
what the cx430 cost.

$40 after mir and modular: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050

and a step up for $45 after mir: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9
