If you want a low price stick with the cx series but for only a few dollars more go with one greater than 500w. The reason being that it will allow for a later gpu upgrade perhaps a r9 270x or gtx 760. Keep that in mind because come the day of upgrading you will not want to have to replace multiple parts. Be prepared and choose the one that will save you money down the road.

Ok so to answer your question, yes. But please listen it is pretty much the bare minimum and you will not be able to upgrade past a 650 ti. So for what you have now it will work. So good luck with your build.
