What would be the best power supply for my build
It includes:
Intel i5 3570k processor
Asus-Micro ATX Motherboard
8gb Ballistix RAM
1Tb Western digital
2gb video graphics card.
I bought a corsair CX430
Was that a bad move?

You should be fine, the r7 260x is a pretty low usage card, your system should be using about 300-350w total at max usage so you will be fine. If you had the r9 270x or something then you might have been in trouble :)

What 2gb video card did you get? the graphics card is typically the most power hungry part. If you had gotten a good 550w power supply then you wouldn't have to worry but only the low power consumption cards will run on 430w

Please give brand and model.

Quick question, what other good graphics cards would be good for this build?
