How Does My First Parts List Look?

No, you won't be running an hd 7870 on a cx430. You really need a 500w PSU.

the xfx550 is a very solid choice.

Sorry, I sent you the wrong link, look at the link I sent you and click on the 500 watt version, is that okay?

It is average at best. the CX line from corsair isn't the best. It's not Corsair quality. I would go with the XFX550 FOR SURE.

Okay. I'll go with the xfx550, I just found a site that is elling it for $60, only five more than the Corsair one. Here is the link, is it a legit website?

Yes, SuperBiiz is a GREAT website.

AWESOME
So here is the final link to my parts list, does it look good? Also, I'm not going to need an after-market CPU cooler right? I might upgrade to one if I DO decide to overclock ( I doubt it, at least with this build).

That motherboard is ATX and the case is mATX. The motherboard will not fit.

Those speakers are not good at all. I would just use some headphones until yo have like $40 for a decent set of speakers.

How about this motherboard, it's more than half the price of the other, so it saves me a lot of money.

It will work. It is an older lower end chipset so do not expect to do any overclocking.

Awesome, I never intended to overclock, I figured I would do that when this build became outdated. Here is the parts list. So this will do it? Just about everything I mentioned I wanted to be able to do in my original post?

Yes, everything looks good to go. You should be able to play new games at high settings.

Wow, thanks a lot, seriously, you and Diazalon have helped me TONS. You even saved me enough that I'm almost one-hundred dollars under my budget, which leaves me enough for a good pair of speakers. Thanks a lot.

Always glad to be able to help!

My pleasure man 😉 maybe with alot the money you've saved you could step up the gpu or add another hd7870 in a few months

Its the same price but less wattage i agree i like that psu also but i would say 600W would be better
This one is a bit more but verry very good but 550W
80 plus GOLD!

I think that the one you just showed me is a little expensive fro me right now, if necessary I will get a lower wattage (I will be sure it's safe, of course) and upgrade it later on, plus, I think 550 watts is a little overpowered for watt I'm doing (see what I did there 😛) This one is the one I think would work.

Its alot of money because its soo efcient 80PLUS GOLD

80plus bronze<silver<gold<platinum<titanium(only 1 psu 1000w not out yet)

I know what all the 80plus ratings are and what they mean, but I just don't think that my bbuild is powerful enough for me to need an 80plus gold PSU, I think a bronze 500 watt will do for this build, when I get into higher end machines, then I'll think about gold.

Yeah definitely, their are a couple parts on here that need upgrading, and with this extra that's exactly what I'll do, I think I'll buy some better speakers first though. I'm not a particularly large fan of headphones unless I'm online with a mic, which I'm not usually.
