Yeah I would say that would be a better option. Uses a lot less power also.

Nah. The amount of power isn't the issue. The only reason you may run into problems is that the CX series is somewhat mediocre. If you are nervous about it, you will be much better off getting a higher quality unit. The new CXM units from Corsair perform significantly better. I suggest this psu if you feel the need to upgrade. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139147&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Very good deal. But keep in mind that an upgrade may not be neccesary.

It certainly has enough wattage, but it's another CX-series, which many of us simply don't recommend for gaming due to the short warranty, ancient design, and disappointing capacitor choice. Corsair much improved their budget series with the CXM-series (black and white text, no green), which uses better capacitors and ditches the group regulation.
