Hello evrybody, i was curious if Corsair CX430 will be able to run this PC SYSTEM:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2H
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4771 Processor 8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz
RAM: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C10D3 - 2x4gb
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
HD: Seagate Desktop HDD ST500DM002 500GB 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5
PSU: Corsair CX430

Thanks in advance.

The i3-4160 you have now is a 54W (TDP) processor. The i7-4771 is 84W. If you are using the GTX 1060 3GB now, you are already at/near the PSUs max load capacity when the system is maxed out gaming. The i7 will only make it worse. I doubt you'll have any issues with safety using the 430W Corsiar, but you may get some shut downs, reboots, crashes, low performance, etc. depending on the voltage drop intensity when heavily loaded.

If you are on a tight budget, this Seasonic 520W PSU would be a good upgrade. If you want better or bigger, let me know your budget.

I am on I3-4160 now and wondered if I could run my system with i7-4771 without my pc explodes. What would be the optimal psu then. Thanks for answer. :)
