It would be enough, wattage wise, but it's not a great PSU for reliability or clean power, if you can get the modular version (CX430M), it has much better components (like a japanese main cap) or if you can spring for a Seasonic/XFX that would be best.

In theory, the wattage of your power supply is enough to support your parts. However, the CX line from corsair is pretty low quality in their components, and you don't want to trust a cheap little box to not kill a lot of money's worth of parts. I would recommend something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

It's high rated, fairly inexpensive, has room for upgrading the PC without needing a new power supply, and is good quality.

Would you guys say it's worth having a hybrid modular supply or even fully modular? The XFX one looks perfect I just don't want too many wires cluttering things up..

Stop spreading misinformation.

CX430: Panasonic/Matsushita 180µF, 400V, 85°C capacitor on the primary and predominantly Samxon 105°C on the secondary with some Nippon Chemicon, Jun-fu and CapXon.

CX430M: Panasonic/Matsushita 180µF, 400V, 85°C capacitor on the primary and predominantly Teapo and CapXon 105°C on the secondary.

Neither model is better component quality-wise than the other. Both models use the same Japanese 85°C rated primary cap and 105°C rated Taiwanese or Chinese made caps on the secondary.

Having a non-modular PSU isn't a big deal if your case has even decent cable management, if yours has absolutely none, and the cables must sit in the middle of the case where they kill airflow, then a modular might be a good idea
