You can easily run that off a cx430 but it's not really cheap right now.

This is plenty: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1450sxxb9

or, get some headroom, transfer this PSU to your next pc, and get 800 watt and you will be able to use this in your next and maybe the one after that too

800W is a bit much unless there is going to be a second GPU, might as well use the money towards a better brand or efficiency rating. If it's within budget, always look for Corsair or Seasonic PSUs first, they tend to have the best reliability and build quality. Also consider whether you want modular cables. I'd recommend at least a semi-modular PSU, cable management is always a headache with non-modular PSUs.

The SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM is a good psu for your build and would give you room for expansion.
