Will my PSU have enough wattage for my upgrade?

My current build:

AMD FX-4300

XFX R7-260x 2gb

M5A78L-M LX plus motherboard

8gb DDR3 RAM

465gb Seagate hard drive

Corsair 230T case

Right now I have a Corsair CX 430M PSU, and have never had any problems with it. I'm planning on upgrading to a gtx 1050 ti and an fx-6300. Will my current PSU support this, or will I need to buy a higher wattage PSU? I have gone to multiple different PSU wattage calculator sites, but they all tell me different things. Thanks in advance for the help.

It should run it but you'll be pushing the limits, if you are upgrading then you should considering going for the FX 8350.

Thanks for the help! I have a budget of $250 for the upgrade, so an FX 8350 is a little out of the price range unless I keep my GPU.

Keep the GPU for a little while longer and you'll have the best CPU for AM3+.
