Is the corsair cx430 PSU enough for this build?

[samthechamp]

Hi
I have the following build running on the corsair cx430:
AMD FX-8320
ADATA XPG 2.0 4X2 GBs of RAM
Zotac nVidia gtx 750 ti OC version
WD blue 500 GB
A couple of fans , a standard LG DVD-Writer.
My question is , I am planning to upgrade my GPU to the GTX 970 , will it run fine on my PSU ?Also , which version would be good for my build?(EVGA,MSI,ASUS or GIGABYTE?)

Thanks.

no, the CX430 probably wont be enough for a 970, not to say that it is a low quality PSU.

A quality 500w or higher PSU is required for the GTX 970.

Which budget PSU do you recommend then?

Well the 970 does not consume that much power so I think it will be fine if you don't OC your cpu or gpu.

150w from gpu, 100 w from cpu = 250 w. You still have 180w for everything else which is more than enough.
I am assuming the cx430 can achieve the advertised wattage.

More importantly the cx430 is rated for 32 amps on the 12v which can easily handle a gtx 970

although you probably don't want to do this, a higher quality PSU is needed here (as well as it needs more wattage):

Can you tell a PSU other than evga,xfx because here in India , they are somewhat rare to find.?

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

Anything from SeaSonic, Super Flower, or Antec should work fine if your country supplies any of those.

Will I be good with cx430 if I upgrade to gtx 960 instead of 970?

What is the budget for the psu?

 

[samthechamp]

Actually I had the budget for a 960 , but somehow I scaled it up , but then came this PSU prob , so I am thinking to go for a 960 only if it won't even run on my PSU. Thanks anyways ,
PS- I will be good with my PSU if I go for a 960 , right?

With no overclocking should it be possible.I would buy a replacement for the psu when possible.
