Radeon R9 380 Windforce requirements

I am thinking about buying a Gigabyte Radeon R9 380 Windforce 4gb card. In Gigabytes website it says 500 watts requiered, but I allready have a 430w power suply. Will that work or do I have to buy a new one?

Yes. Buy a new PSU. I suggest 750w because you can upgrade basically endlessly with that.

You should be fine, pending what CPU you're running.

You should be fine just don't overclock it to any extremes.
