Will a Corsair CX450 have enough power to run this new system?

Hi everyone and Happy New Year...

I am trying to figure out if this new build would work with a new Corsair CX 430.

Ok, here is the present build I am putting together:

AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Black Processor
BIOSTAR A870U3 AM3
Zigmatek Loki CPU cooler
8 GB Corsair RAM [2x4gb] @ 1.5 volts
Western Digital 500 GB Caviar Black
Fans: 1x200mm, 3x120mm, 1x92mm
EVGA GTS 450
Agility 2SSD 64gb
Antec 600 Black case with the stock LED's on the fans.

Finally, I may attempt to unlock the 4th core...not sure if that would draw more power. Might overclock a tad, but nothing extreme.

I should have asked before putting everything together in the case...

Well, what do ya think? Will this fly or not?

I have not cranked it up yet.

Thanks,

Soar

I think with that setup, you will be fine with a 430W. Anyone agree?

Nice wire management, btw.

I ran a i5 750 OC @ 3.2 ghz and a GTX 460 stock with a CX400.
so i think you'll be fine.

Thank you MoM! Ok, then I will proceed and give this rig a whirl. This is the first time I've ever seen that 24 pin for the motherboard on the left hand side rather than the right hand side. So had to drill some holes and make it work. Now I will attach all the other wires.

Thanks again.

It actually has worked out fine so far because the CX 450 has only one GPU cable, and that is exactly what the EVGA 450 requires.

Now if this system will only be satisfied with 430 watts...
