Is Corsair CX430 enough for my build?

Solution
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.

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 :)

:) 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.
