Is Corsair CX430 enough for my build?

[Buka1991]

Hello guys, I was wondering if Corsair CX430 is enough for this build:

I bought the psu without thinking of future upgrades 🙁 If it's not recommended, I am thinking to get Corsair
TX650 V2.

I'd say stick with the 650W for future upgradeability, I'd also get a better card than the 7770 for gaming

Well, considering that FX is an 125w processor and your GPU is about 100w or so, you will be fine if you use everything at stock. If you plan to overclock that PSU wont have enough power to keep everything up and you will end up with random restarts and overheat issues with your PSU pusshing too far. I say you can have that at stock just because the HD 7770 is a darn efficient GPU and in most system the GPU is the most power hungry part.

get what you can but the 650 semms great im running a 7950 with a 600 corsair so i say get a good brand psu no cheapo as it can damage something never get a refurb psu ever but can you get the 7850 better for gaming

With the listed parts the CX430 is fine.

Thanks for your reply. I only play DOTA 2, so the gpu is pretty much enough for me since it's showing 80fps on max settings with my current noob settings. The question is; Is CX430 enough for FX8350+HD7770 ghz edition+SSD+HDD+fans? Thanks

It should be enough, yes though keeping that 650W would mean you wouldn't need to replace the PSU in the future if you decided to play modern games and upgrade, saving you more money in the long run yes? 😀

Thanks. The system isn't for heavy gaming but some light games on med settings, and multitasking. Agree, I am afraid of the psu damaging my other parts.
