PSU Problems

[GIR385]

I'm in the process of gathering parts for my first pc build, and I've reached a conundrum. I intend to use an AMD Gigabyte R7 260x. Newegg says that this will require a 450watt power supply at least. I currently have a CX430 PSU from Corsair (Brand new, 430watts, 80plus bronze rating if it helps) and I want to use it for my build even though its 20watts under the requirement. Since GPU's are used for gaming, and I won't be playing intense games (Mostly Minecraft, Rivals of AEther, and Portal) with the exception of possibly playing Fallout 4 in the future, I think I'll be ok. But since this is my first build and I am a nub, I would like some more experienced opinions in the matter. For reference, I am using an AMD Athlon X4 860k for a processor, and I would likely have skype or music playing in the background as I play the games. The only other demanding tasks I would do wouldn't involve the graphics card that much, being programming and video and picture editing. So what do you think? Will this PSU be sufficient?

Can you give full system specs pls? so hdd's ect

I already listed the processor and GPU, so here's the rest:

MoBo

MSI A78M E35 V2

RAM

G.Skill Ripjaws X 16gb

Storage

Intel 320 series 160GB SSD

Unbranded 1TB hard Drive

 

Sorry about the blue, and the hard drive might not be unbranded. Most of these parts were purchased a while ago by my parents as christmas/birthday gifts, and I don't remeber what the hard drive was. It might've been a WD black, but I'm unsure.

most hard drives should have a label on the drive. get a bigger PSU, better safe then sorry,

Ok. So I take it I should return my PSU? I had EVGA's 500watt in mind. I don't think a 600watt is necessary. Thanks for the responses!

Yea, it is. The 500W was on sale earlier, but it increased in price. I wound up getting the 600W. Thanks for the help!
