2. ASUS M5A78L-M LX AMD Socket AM3+ Motherboard - Micro ATX, Socket AM3/AM3+, AMD 760G Chipset, 1866MHz DDR3 (O.C.), Radeon HD 3000 Graphics, SATA 3.0 Gb/s, RAID, 8-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN

Did I do anything wrong?
If not, from what it say minimum requirement at 383 watts will satisfy right?

Thank you.

You'd be better off going with a stronger PSU, 430W is pretty low these days and doesn't give you much room for upgrades. I'd say look at a 600W or greater from a good brand. You really don't want to skimp on the PSU. Probably the most important piece of hardware in a PC.

Agreed. The 430w PSU is your weak link and you would be much better off in the long run with a stronger PSU. I recommend Seasonic PSUs. You get what you pay for and they are some of the very best on the market today.
