Have had my system now for about 3 months and have been thinking about upgrading my PSU. When I first built my machine I just bought a cheap 600w with no real branding which it now realise is not a sensible thing to do. So to avoid anything bad happening I've looked around at some better ones. I was thinking of getting the Corsair CX430 but was not sure would this be enough juice? If so would it be running at high load a lot if it was just enough power? My components are a 6350 CPU, Gtx 650 evga 1gb, 500gb hdd and 120gb ssd. Thank you in advance.

Yes, 430w is fine for your build. I would recommend a better quality unit as the Corsair CX units are average at best, albeit the cx430 is the best of the lot.

If I were you, I would get an Antec VP-450. AMAZING quality and cheaper or as cheap as the CX430.
