You probably could use a 430W PSU. Everything looks pretty good. But you may be going short on the CPU. You should go for an i3 at least. A $50 CPU shouldn't be running with a graphics card like that.

Then I would take the price that you saved from the PSU and get a better CPU. It's always good to balance out your CPU and GPU, don't get a super good GPU but have a processor that isn't nearly as good. I hope i helped you!

Yep - I don't like Corsair CX PSUs though - too many problems here. Get a Seasonic M12II 520 for $67 from Newegg instead.
Ort Antec HCG 520M or XFX550.

What's wrong with Corsair PSUs? I have one and it works perfectly fine. But you have to admit, SeaSonic is really good too.

The CX line uses not top caps in it. It's one way Corsair brought the price down. They aren't junk ones found in those unit's that explode. But because they aren't the best some users have said they will never use them. I freely admit there are worse caps/units out there, but I'd use one if I had to. There is a LOT worse PSUs out there then the CX Corsairs.

Gotcha. I guess I got a lucky one in there. Mine works extremely well, and as of now I think I can trust Corsair. Thank you though for letting me know that.

Get one from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

As I said of Corsair CX - too many problems found with them on this forum eg poor voltage control (bad caps) and badlly molder motherboard connectors. They are in tier 3.

Thanks dude! I'll remember that if I'm getting a new PSU.

I believe different then others because I have my own tier list. 5 steps? 2a and 2b? Really? Tier one are all the great units. Two are those like the CX line. Work, not the best but usually cheaper (or older) units that can get the job done safely. Finally is Tier three, those I wouldn't touch or even allow in my house. Those that lie or pop under testing. I see no point is saying 1, 2a, 2b is good to pick from, and even though unit in Tier three haven't failed in testing you should avoid them. Great, Good, avoid. That's my tiers.
