Im looking for a budget pc build and i went through some research to end up ordering these

MOBO: Asus H81m-plus
CPU: Intel pentuim g3258 @3.2 GHz
RAM: 8GB hyperX fury 2x4 DDR3 1333mhz
GPU: gigabyte GTX 750 Ti 2gb ( it does require 6-pin pci-e power)
PSU: XFX TS 430w 80+ bronze
A single old HD WD 500 GB from my old machine
No optical drive

Im sure about all the parts but is the power supply enough for this build ?
Gigabyte says this GPU needs 400w
But i know little about psu power is it max or constant or what ?
Now i already ordered the parts i hope i dont need to return the psu

that psu is good quality, but there is the newer version and the older version. the older version (core edition) doesnt support some features of 4th gen intel chips (4th gen is what you purchased). if you have "P1-430S-XXB9" you are good to go!

430w is enough power for that system. 350w is the recommendation for a 750 ti. That gives you 80w of room for overclocking and other things.

Well since you use g3258 cpu 430w will work but if I were you I would try to replace it for xfx 650w. Then you can replace your processor after too when you have the money for it..

Anyway this build will use 200watt under load, so you don't have to change your PSU :)

750 ti has a 300w minimum requirement. I don't know why they have said 400w minimum. If it is 400w I would upgrade to 500w psu to be safe. But I'm pretty sure 750ti card only asks for 300
