Yeah. Just mkae sure you get a decent waulity PSU. Don't you dare get a CX430 or that crappy 430W from EVGA. I powered an R9 290 off of a 400W so you'll be fine.

what about the cooler master cx430m power supply?

It would work just fine, but if you're planning on overclocking, you should consider a higher wattage, better quality power supply.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Corsair has a CX430, Cooler Master does not.

 

Don't buy a CX430. The price is not worth it. While everyone goes way overboard on the hate train for CX series units, a CX430 is just a bad idea.

 

Give us a location and price, or a preferred retailer and we can get you a good recommendation.

And in reality I'd recommend a 500 watt psu at least.

I recommend a 500w PSU minimum for a Gaming PC like yours. PSU's shouldnt run under full load.

Corsair VS series?

It has a lot of good reviews

The CX series cost more than the VS and is modular

Go with an evga b2 or g2, you won't regret it

Way too expensive

The reviews are 10/10 for the CX series.

80+ efficiency

Modular

Dosent say anything about only use for basic systems in this link
