Is this a suitable PSU?

[AR7711]

I am planing on build a pc with the folllowing specs:
I5-6500
R9 380x
1Tb segate or WD
Silverstone GD10

so is XFX TS430W enough for it?I found it cheap locally for like approx $38 and its the cheapest psu i found and the best .So is it enough to run my PC?

Also I am new to the community so hi to ya all tho i have been stalking it for a while

No, you need at least 550 watts for an R9 380X. Look here:

Oh, and WELCOME

Wont it work?Those recommended are usually exaggerated and the xfx 430w is tier 2

Also i am considering awaiting till polaris and pascal.Who know maybe they might offer the same performance at lower price and wattage like AMD showed in CES or wherever it was

The XFX 430 only comes with one 6+2 PCI cable, and the R9 380X needs two. It's not made to power a card like the 380X. This site gives conservative requirements for GPU's:

I see that some of the 380X's come with a single 8 pin connection. You could get by on 500 watts likely. You have to have sufficient amperage on the 12V line. What specific 380X are you planning on getting? Maybe 430 watts will be enough.

Here is a review of the Asus Strix R9 380X. You can see that it is pulling 300 watts in Crisis 3, plus 65 watts for the CPU, plus about 50 watts for everything else equals 415 watts. That's too close for comfort, I think. I would get at least 500 watts.

The PSU is rated for 396W on the 12V rail. 380X about 230W.. I5-6500 like 75W. Rest of system, probably looking at a 340W system here. Other things to consider here, such as temperature can play a role in the amount of 12V current a unit can create. Load on the 3.3V and 5V rails also decreases potential on the 12V rail.

But it should work, I'm confident it'll be fine. Plus Seasonic build quality would have working protections even if you do overdraw current from it. So no worry here.
