in theory yes, but in practise i'd say not.

what are you trying to tell me sir that this cx 430 is not a good PSU after all?..
because you say in theory yes but not in practice..

It is a cheap made power supply for office, internet, email type machines.
It has low quality capacitors rated for 40c max and starts going out of ATX spec before that temperature.
It is in tier 4 on our quality list.

It may work for a little while before it dies. BUT when it dies it could kill all of your other components.

awts!...wew...
so given that i already have this PSU..what do you think sir is the best GPU match for this build that i mention on my top post?

A GTX 950, faster than the 560TI but draws a lot less power.
GTX 750Ti about as fast as the 560ti but uses no PCI-E power connectors 75 watt max draw.
GTX 650 Ti almost as fast as a 560Ti and uses less power.
