gtx 960 psu requirement?

[KillSwitch07]

I want to upgrade to the new gtx 960 (the asus strix model) and i am wondering if my psu can handle it. Specs: Cpu: AMD 760K Richland Quad-Core 3.8GHz
Mobo: MSI A78M-E35 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78
Ram: 2x Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Hdd: 1tb wd cavair blue 7200 rpm hdd
Ssd: 256 gb SAMSUNG 850 Pro Series solid state drive
Psu: CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Extras: i have 2 usb devices drawing power, 4x AeroCool DS 120mm Blue led 120mm case fans
And the gpu i am planning to put in here: ASUS STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 960 2GB
I have used the cooler master wattage calculator and the cooler master psu calculator the psu calculator says i need a 380w psu under full load and the wattage calculator says i draw 353w under full load. Also, on nvidias website they say that a 400w psu is recommended. The only reason i want to know all of this is because i want to get this new gpu without having to install a new psu as i have a small case (rosewill line-m) And it was NOT fun at all to manage my wiring in it. From everything im reading online i should be good with a 430w psu but i don't want to damage the rest of my components. Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

You can run the new GPU with a CX430.

CX430W is fine and a decent power supply.

I personally wouldn't get a Corsair CX as that is one of their lower tier series but yes, the CX430 is capable of powering your setup.

Short of it is you need a 400w or better PSU with correct PCI-e connection. You should be fine with your current PSU.

Be cautious of the overclocked cards. The stock versions draw 120w but this card is near 150w. This is near what a stock 970 requires. Also this is a single 6 pin which means the card is pushed about to its limit. If your buying the card for overclocking I would suggest one of the 1x8 pin models. Your psu come with the 1x6+2 so it would be a better fit. I however was going to get 2 gtx960's but they are overpriced and under performance compared to the R9 280. Im waiting on the GTX960ti which a stock version should also work with your psu and perform much better.
