I just want to know if my PSU will be able to handle an Asus r9 270x with an athlon x4 760k? Here's my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4zxNBm

PS: I'm upgrading my computer with this graphics card and this new CPU so if I don't absolutely have to I don't want to get a new PSU.

I would stretch it to about a 500-550W PSU just to have a bit of overclocking headroom. But it doesn't hurt to try it on the 430W

I'm not really looking to overclock this rig maybe in the future I just want this thing to run.

430W will run it just fine byt for slightly more options in the future you want something a bit higher quality. Try looking at the CS550M

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

If I need more processing power I'll have to build a whole new PC as the 760k is the best CPU I can have for my mobo. But hopefully this will last a couple years at least just my first build so far lol I originally had an a6 6400k in this thing its junk but for 50 bucks its pretty decent actually you just can't play anything maybe runescape or something and that's about it.

I have two of those power supplies myself and they're great, but I wouldn't trust it all that much with a 180W GPU

the PSU has only one PCIe 6+2 pin power connector and that card requires two so you would have to adapt which I generally don't recommend.
