Hi, I'm very inexperienced with computers and thus in need of assistance. I would like to know if the following power supply:

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Watt-CX430/dp/B0092ML1SC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388791706&sr=8-1&keywords=CORSAIR+CX+series+CX430+430W+ATX12V+v2.3+80+PLUS+BRONZE+Certified+Active+PFC+Power+Supply

has the slots necessary to support the following graphics card:

http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11201-17-20G/dp/B00A0HZOEA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1388793326&sr=1-1&keywords=radeon+hd+7770

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

yes, it does have the necessary slots, all PSU's have a motherboard 24pin conector, some Sata power connectors and some PCI expansion connectors, what i was trying to tell u is if u got a moderate CPU 430 W will not cut it, u will not have enought power, and even if u do corsair's CX series is bad

Well it may have the slots necessary but i wouldnt advise u that PSU for 2 reasons:
1º: The CX series of corsair isnt really that good, look for the TX series or for a seasonic/XFX PSU
2º: 430w is not enought to run that GPU and a CPU with confort and u want to leave a little room trust me
I would go with an XFX 500w at least, a 550w would be better
And the slots that PSU's have nowadays always support GPU's they have PCI expansion 8pin conectors, all of them have, like from 10 years until now

So you can confirm that this PSU DOES have the necessary slots?

Thank you for your assistance and advice, but I think I'm going to take my chances with that PSU. I would be satisfied just having something that works.
