I always prefer to overkill a bit on PSU, a 430W is too close for me, the price should be lower. i recomend the EVGA B1 series, either the 500 or 600W versions

I dont know the price you have that PSU for tho, but in amazon it's actually more expensive than the EVGA B1 500W while having lower efficiency, Corsair isn't very good with pricing, EVGA is the best brand for around that price point.

That PSU should be avoided....

An Antec Basiq BP550W will work good :)
