Hi,

I just placed an order for MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G and I would like to overclock it to the limit...so i was wondering if my initial choice ,

Corsaor CX 430M

(http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx430m)

will be fine with the OCing?

Or should I bump it up a bit and get the Corsair SMPS CX500

(http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-smps-cx500-500-watts-psu/p/itmdzasggssybnqg?pid=PSUD5XZ4CEUXM4GH&otracker=from-search&srno=t_2&query=corsair+cx&ref=60f378f7-08b9-4235-8c9e-a4d48477cb5f)

 

My pc is an Intel i7 3770 @3.4ghz, intel DH77EB mobo, 8GB ram.The CPU will be stock.

 

PS: There are just 2  80m  fans cooling the case.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Thanks very much then :)

 

Edit: I just read in an few user reviews that cx430 will be fine for 960 as long as i dont overclock it. Im slightly concerned now as OCing is my main intention. So, just one more time...r u sure?
