Hello, I might buy the EVGA 430W PSU. The build is the one in my signature but the CPU is now the A8-7650K which I'll OC to A10-7850K speeds.
I will also buy the Gigabyte GTX 750Ti later down the line.
Is this PSU good enough for what I want? Thanks.

Oh, don't mention the Athlon 860K either, it's not available in Australia.
 


Yes!

Good Luck on your build ^^
 


Yes PSU will be fine, but its not good quality. And for the Athlon X4 860K even if you could buy it in Australia you couldnt use it because it doesnt have integrated GPU

Better mobo for this same price: :)

Rams can be OC up to 2400Mhz

And cheaper but still solid PSU:

Hence why I'd buy a dedicated GPU, I'm not that dumb...
 


This might be long. Okay, first off all I am buying all parts from MSY. I did go out and buy a Corsair CX430 and a DeepCool Smarter LED Case. I do already own the motherboard, the Asus A88XM-A which is the one you also own. I only have a $230 budget so I am getting the A10-7850K (that way the APU's GPU will be better since I'm not immediately buying a dedicated GPU which will be the R9 270/370) and a 4GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1600MHz which I'll upgrade to 8GB when I have another $50.
That PSU you listed is a piece of junk, mostly anything made by Silverstone is junk.
Also, if I got what you listed I'd end up paying $50+ in shipping to Adelaide.
The motherboard you listed wouldn't fit in my case either, it's an ATX board, not Micro ATX.
So I've got all the parts (bought them gradually for the last 6 months) but the CPU and GPU.
 
Do not forget APU iGPU performance depend a lot from ram, single ram stick will decrease performance a lot 😉
Best performance on 2400Mhz rams :)

Silverstone have bad and good quality this listed by mine will be sufficient to your build but Cx 430 will be also sufficient even if also is similar quality
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html look at tier 4 you find here CX series

 


Yet the Silverstone one you listed hasn't been put down to Tier 4/5 because no one buys them and tests them.
I'm getting an A10-7870K and a 2x4GB Kit of G.Skill Ares 8GB 2133Mhz.
