No, you'll need a good quality 550W power supply to run that computer. The Corsair CX line is far from high quality, it uses poor capacitors that are known to explode (http://youtu.be/kj8-wNmYJvM) and therefore is in the third tier of the PSU tier list (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html).

I recommend getting an XFX 550W, or a Seasonic 620W. These are both super high quality power supplies and won't break the bank either.
