Is 430w enough for my system (gtx 960, i5 4690k)

Ok so I have the CPU and GPU listed above in the title, and basically I currently have a CX750M that has been running for about 2 years now. But I have an XFX 430W TS psu, which is of quite a bit better quality.

I will eventually buy a white super flower psu to match my case colour (white obviously), could I use this XFX PSU with my system. My graphics card has two 6 pin connectors, would it be fine to use the 6 pin connector on the psu, and use a molex to 6 pin adapter for the second connector.

Also, the CX has that ugly green on the side, the white font on the XFX not only looks cooler, but kinda works better with the build overall..

Anyway, thanks

(Oh also note that I have the g1 gaming 4gb 960 which I believe uses slightly more power, I did a partlist on PCPartPicker of exactly everything I have excluding fans, and it says 336wattts is what it would use)

The 430W is fine. It is important to note that quality is a more important metric than wattage. You are probably pulling no more than 200W while gaming.

Oh I know that don't worry. I'm not one of those idiots that thinks that oh I have a 1000w psu so its obviously good. Alright thanks
Um, do you think I could also do some overclocking to the i5 with the 430w ?
