Coolermaster is not a very good brand of power supply! I would go with a Corsair TX series or Seasonic X series, Antec are good power supplies. A 500 - 600 Watt power supply would be better for your video card and processor, if you plan to overclock at all.

I wouldn't use the Coolermaster PSU. I would recommend Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, PCP&C, & XFX if I was considering a PSU for a build. I'd also consider at least a 500w version or better, since you have a 7870 GPU (requires 2 x PCI-e power connectors).
