Is this PSU ok with a 7850 + i5 2XXX.
Calculator says that Total Watt Recommendation for entire system is 350W.So 430W should be able to handle such system i guess.

PS: Dont Recommend other PSU brand/model.Plz Recommend what to look for in a psu for my system to function properly.

Things to look for in a PSU as far as I know:-
1. If it can supply the required power for your system.(Obviously)
2. Efficiency-If it is a 80+ or 80+Bronze or 80+Silver...etc. The higher the better.
3. If it is Modular,Semi-Modular,Non-Modular.
4. Quality of the used parts in the PSU. You know things like-Japanese capacitors..etc.
5. If you happen to have a UPS then check if the PSU is compatible with it.

Hi Didar Shams
Look for efficiency , a certified rating
high quality japanese capacitors
modular/semi modular for less cable clutter in your case
the amount of amperage on the unit to know if it can handle the amperage draw from your card
The amount of watts the psu has is it enough to drive all of your components
etc
The Hercules X 430 has low grade capacitors , Poor quality capacitors break down quickly over time resulting in spiky voltage being delivered to the motherboard. This results in motherboard breakdown or poor cpu performance.

look to high quality PSU's , really low price is usually an indication of a poor quality PSU
good brands with high quality japanese capacitors are seasonic / xfx / any psu from the corsair TX,HX or AX range of psu's
