I am also looking to do some blender with this PC, the R7 265 is a striped version of the R9 270, and do you have any suggestion for PSU.

 

Ah then your choice makes sense! that psu is perfectly fine and is powerful enough for your components, thats  a good build for the money imo

It is always good to good a little overkill on the PSU, so do you have any good $60 PSU suggestion.

The PSU I have is only 70 watt lower and basically same as the CX500m so yeah. I'll use the current PSU then.

 

Yeah the 430 is a sound little unit for its cheap price
