cx430 with a gtx 960?

[Louiscts]

is a cx 430 psu enough for a core i3 4160, a gtx 960 and one 7200 rpm wd caviar blue hdd?

Yes, but not very much headroom. I'd go for something like this:

But if you want something from a better brand

will it damage any components?

The sentey one? If thats what you are talking about no it wont.
Even though its cheap its a decent quality supply and my friend has been running it for a year no problems.
