Is 430W PSU enough?

I'll be have that build but with a MSI 660 OC GPU until next paycheck. It's a CORSAIR CXM 430W PSU. Will that be enough? I am looking for a 500-600W Modular PSU for my build. I'm seriously considering 550W/650W Rosewill PSU, I'm not sure how reliable these PSU's are. I'll post the links.

How did I know this was going to be about the Corsair CX430?

I would advise against the CX series, it is their budget line with cheap parts.

Probably the best deal going on right now is this 750W Capstone unit for $60 ... cheaper than a lot of 500-600W models of the same quality. Not sure if the same is available in Canada, but worth a look.

Yes, it would be. Pretty sure I made that parts list.

Not sure I would go with the Corsair though. It would be adequate, but that is a beefy CPU with overclocking capacity. So the 550W was planning for the future. GTX660 plus an 8320 is borderline for a 430W, (Keep in mind that is only about 380W on the 12V line)

Rosewill is Newegg's house brand. Hive is made by Sirtec. Not sure on the other one.

Rosewill Capstone's are top-rated supplies, same people that make XFX's units, Seasonic.

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. I think I'll go with Rosewill's PSU.
