I'm just about done having all my parts delivered to me and I was just wondering, would my Corsair CX 430W PSU be enough for my FX 8120 and also a EVGA GTX 650 Ti BOOST?

After some thinking I kinda wished I bought a PSU with higher watts but at the time this PSU was on sale and had a good rebate with also good reviews so I went with it.

Is this PSU enough for the CPU and GPU I have?

Thanks!

450 watts are recommended, but you could probably scrape by. Don't plan on overclocking, though.
I wouldn't do it personally.

If it's a decent PSU, it'll handle it.

Would a thermaltake 650W be sufficient enough if I plan to overclock then ?

Honestly 500 would be enough. I would get 550, though. The xfx 550 watt psu is a great option.
