that is not a trustworthy power supply. you want around a 500W ( headroom is always good) EVGA,XFX,Corsair HM/AX/HX series,seasonic USA or superflower PSU that is at least 80 PLUS BRONZE rated.

I'm assuming you live in a country with a 230V power grid. Anyway yeah it'll work yeah but honestly if you have a rig that costs $500 if you spend more money on the PSU and make it $520 you are talking about a mere 4% increase you could possibly increase the longevity of your computer by 50% for much more reliability.

I'd also just not get an FX-4300 for gaming at all. If it were me I'd be getting an I3-6100 which is vastly superior for gaming, and along with that comes a modern instead of old platform.

A lot of the time the intel prices are inflated in other countries.

You can do the math yourself @ http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator , that shall give you a fair idea about the power requirements of your rig. I have been using the same PSU, i.e. Corsair 450W VS series in my rig for the past couple of months without any worries, my system stays online almost 24X7, and my specs are as follows -

i3 6100
8GB DDR4 RAM
1TB WD Blue HDD
3x120mm fans
Gtx 950 2GB Graphics Card

It'll give you a far from fair idea about the power requirements. Those calculators are very poor and overestimate a ton.

Also the VS PSUs work fine for a bit, but they are cheaply built they are going to fail sooner than a quality PSU.
