Yes

Did you already owned that power supply?
If you haven't there are other better option than that on same price range.

I don't recommend the Seagate Barracuda, i had one and it broke within the first 2 days. I Got a WD blue and that worked fine.

The Corsair CX430 isn't the best power supply out there but it'll do. Try and shoot for the Seasonic S12II 520 if you can.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I've been running the 3TB versions in an UnRaid server for years now and never had a problem.

Clearly my one just got damaged in shipping or something then.

Yes, with an i5 7500 and 1060, that CX430W is enough. But if I were you, I'd go with the CX450m instead. Better thermal tolerance and longer warranty for only $5 more (Newegg I think). That's just a better pick in my opinion.
