Change the PSU to another brand and you should be good.

Yes it would be a good casual gaming machine and I agree on the PSU if not yet bought get a better one similar in size from a quality brand like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec or XFX to name few.

If I were to buy a corsair cx 430 watt psu would that be enough

This will do the job for your system.

would 550watt be a little overkill or is 550 a necessity for my system
