Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-9370 8 core 4.40GHz
RAM: Just 8gbs od stock RAM
GPU: nVidia GT 630 4gbs
MoBo: 970A-G46
I use Corsair's PSU finder and they had one as low as 430w so I'm pretty sure that it will be fine but at the moment I don't have hardly any money, so I just wanted to get a second opinion. I know the Corsair knows their stuff, for sure but like I said a second opinion or maybe someone with the same rig as me could leave some info.
Thanks,

Your motherboard does not support that CPU.

Yeah, I've heard bad things after i bought it. But I was on a budget and didn't have the money for the one I wanted
I have been running it for about 7-8 months now though, no problems so far

The reason is because the FX-9000 series CPU have a TDP of 220W+. The motherboard that you have is NOT cut out to handle that immense power that the FX-9000 uses. So while it may work for now, your motherboard's lifespan is constantly being drained by the CPU and will eventually give out. Meanwhile, your motherboard also cannot supply enough power to the CPU so your CPU will also take a performance drop.

For your current setup, it will suffice, but as @"AMD Radeon" said, don't push it.

Nvm, I just remembered that my MoBo had an 8 pin CPU power connector and the extra PSU has either a or 4 connector. Sorry for wasting your time
