Hello I need help upgrading my PSU. Currently I have a liteon PS-5301-08ha with the dimensions of 3.4"(H) x 5.9"(W) x 5.5"(L) and I would like to upgrade to a CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 with the same dimensons. Would this work and if not what PSU could I get within a 60 dollar price range. Thanks

That's a standard ATX sized power supply.

How many Watts you need mainly depends on what Graphics card you have in the PC. What make and model graphics card do you have?

Ok thanks for the reccomendation I was going 750ti for the price range but if I wanted later to upgrade would my cpu bottleneck the gtx 770? My cpu is the
Intel Core i5-750 its an older computer and I plan on in a year or so fully upgrading to a new one and giving this one to a friend but if I wont be bottle necked I might not.

There would be a small bottleneck , but you would still see a lot of improvement.
