I'll try and keep it short.
-Got a free no rating PSU from Amazon.
-Quickly bought a Corsair CX430M because my friend warned me. Plus Corsair is a pretty well known brand.
-Started overclocking my FX6300 processor to 4.6GHz. Yeah, not the best idea.
-Upgraded to a Xeon E5 2560 which cant overclock and looks like it's at 1.1V max. I think this is pretty low voltage. Compared to the 1.46V on my FX processor at least.
Anyway my graphics card is a GTX750 that drains 55W max, no overclocks on that. Do I really need to spend the extra money to buy a better PSU since I saw a bunch of people say CX series PSUs are bad and EVGA are gods for cheap PSUs, or can I live with this PSU for now? PCPartPicker said my system pulls about 310W max on full load but I doubt I'm going to have both my Xeon and GPU at full load at the same time. 430W seems fair for 310W system.
