I was wondering if a core i5 3470 is compatible with my motherboard (Im pretty sure it is) I just wanted to double check, I'd be great if someone can tell me if it is compatible. Also i only have a 430w psu would this work with some "headroom" left on the psu.
Specs are listed below:
Intel Core i3 3220 - Cpu
G. Skill Ripjaw 12 Gbs. 4GB Dual Channel, 8GB Dual Channel. - RAM
EVGA GTX 650Ti - Gpu
MSI H77MA-G43 - Motherboard
Corsair CX430 - Psu
1 Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Blue - HDD
Also 2 Cooler Master LED Fans 120mm dont know the exact models nothing crazy.

Its actually, good budget card. Get around 60+ on bf3 on medium to high-ish settings, basically u get 60+ fps on most games medium to low. (Sometimes high, depends on the game) I think its a very good card for the money.

Just wondering is the i5 3470 good with my power supply?, like would there be a bit of "headroom" left?

Is power consumption a problem? or no is the 430w psu good enough.
