I've decided to get a better case for my desktop since the one I currently have doesn't have any wire routing options and bad airflow. I currently have a Corsair CX430 PSU which is obviously 430watts running my system which I determined before thanks to this site that it would be enough for my build with very little if any wiggle room, but the case i'm looking at getting has 5x120mm led-fans in it which i'm going to assume uses a fair bit of power to run them all.
So basically my question is will my current PSU still be good enough for my desktop or will I need to upgrade to say a 500watt psu or higher.
My comp part list is below --
CPU -- AMD Athlon X4 860k Black Edition
GPU -- MSI Radeon R7 260x
Mobo -- Gigabyte F2A58M-HD2
Ram -- 8GB (2x4GB Sticks) Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1600MHz DDR3
Hard Drive -- Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM (wd5000aacs)
Optical -- Memorex MRX-550L DVD-RW
Peripherals -- Standard USB Keyboard and Mouse, Emachines usb speakers (EMC2.0-USB)
Current Case -- Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case FBM-01 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LIDU5S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00)
Case I'm Looking At -- DIYPC Gamemax-BK Black Dual (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353064)
