Will it work? - probably. Is the PSU underspecced for that system? - probably.

If you used pci-e adaptors it may work (as the CX430 doesnt have enough connectors), but honestly I would recommend upgrading the PSU as you will be right on the limit (, and using the adaptors isnt really a good idea.

A 500w unit from Seasonic/XFX or other good brand would be a good option.

The Corsair CX 430 is a Tier 4 PSU. Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.

You need a Tier 1 or 2 PSU like a Seasonic S12II-620w or a XFX TS PSU.

TheTaoBoy :

Still it is a Tier 4 PSU, try to get a Tier 1 or Tier 2 PSU like a Seasonic S12II-620w or a XFX TS PSU.

Yes, it will work fine.
