I am planning to build a Gaming PC, and i was just wondering if this power supply is good enough?
I am mostly using it for gaming, and browsing the web.

The power supply is: http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-cx-series-cx430m-430...

Here is my PC build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/darkhaven88/saved/ZQLFf...

Yes it is enough.
The CX series from Corsair are low quality.It will be enough for your PC,which will use 300-350W at full load.
But don't think about upgrading your GPU on that PSU.
I would still recommend a Rosewill Capstone 450M PSU,which is higher quality and still enough for your PC. ;) 
All the best. :)

Yet again lukaboki is correct, Corsairs CX Series of PSUs have bad capacitors.

i think you mean they use cheap capacitors, if they were bad the PSU would not work at all

Well technically bad PSUs can work, just not for long, And yes i was implying that they have bad capacitors.

It's best to get an XFX TS 550W PSU. ;) 
Better quality and higher reliability. :) 
All the best. ;)
