I'm building a pc and I'm thinking of buying the Corsair Builder CX430W psu, but I don't know if it is enough. My pc parts are:
 


Intel Core i5-4690
Gigabyte GTX960 2GB GDDR5
GIGABYTE B85M-D3H
Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3-1600MHz 2x4GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA
SSD Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB

Cooler Master Seidon 120V Ver.2

 

Please tell if the psu is a good choice. Thx.  ;)

500w would be better idea but 430w should also be enough

Also did you know a Radeon R9 280 provides more performance then a 960?Buy 20fps for $20 cheaper

Should be fine but maybe get a bit more, like 550W or the CX 600M, just to have more headroom and upgradability

that psu is a shit, go buy directly from seasonic, or FSP :) corsair does not make their own psus it's just stickers

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Just no, the CX line isn't the best, but they are still a great budget option. You need to pay at least $20 more if you want a decent seasonic PSU.
