I use the cx430m to power my i3-4130 & gtx760 just fine. it has a 6+2pin GPU power connector.

Hi,

First of you you plan on playing on modern gaming, get the fx-6300 minimum. If not for gaming, stick with the FX 4130.

also:

GPU at the moment is - GT 610 but want to upgrade to the 7790,

Get good 500 w psu, you won't regret it.
