It'll work, the CX series isn't the best going, I'd look for a better model, maybe the TX from Corsair, or a XFX, SeaSonic, EVGA, SilverStone, etc

Sorry for another question. But should i go for the intel core i5 4670k rather than the fx-8350. On amazon right now the 4670k is on sale for $189 or 113.75 british pounds.

I'd be all over the 4670K, far and away stronger than the 8350 (the 8350 does have a minor edge in video rendering, but that's it)
