Corsair cx430 v2 right for me?

[ankit360]

First let me tell you why I m buying new PSU

I have 2-3 years old tagan 500w PSU. I have two Seagate HDD both 500 GB each one is old about two years and another is 10 months old .

I have problem with both HDD they both stop getting detected sometimes or start clicking. I send both HDD to Seagate for replacement but they won't detect any problems in it. So is it PSU related problem?

If u u feel this problem occurs due to PSU. I m planning to buy new Corsair cx430 v2

My current configuration is
AMD 840
Gigabyte 780G chipset mobo
Asus Ati 5770 GPU
2x 500GB sata
2x 2GB DDR 2 RAM
Is Corsair cx430 v2 is enough for me?

Never bought anything from that site and I don't think many people buy from there.

Kindly suggest whether Corsair CX430V2 would be sufficient for running following config.:

Intel Core i5 3550 (Socket 1155) processor
Corsair Vengeance 4GB @ 1600 MHZ
Intel DH67CL B3 / Intel DH77KC
WD Blue 500 GB HDD
Sony DVD-RW Drive x 2
Sony FDD
Dell ST2220L monitor
Microsoft Keyboard
Logitech Basic Optical Mouse
Altec Lansing BXR1221 speakers
Cooler Master Elite 310 Cabinet

Or should I go for CX500V2?

Is there any possibility of adding a GPU later with this PSU?

430v2 is GOOD enough to run your system with a HD 6770/7770 kind things..

Better invest on GS 500 since PSU is 1 time investment.

easily . you can add gpu too like 7770 or 6850

 

[topgear]

CX500v21 can easily power up a GTX 560 Ti with core i5 3550 and for CX430v2 the max limit should be HD7850 for g_goyal2000.

@ ankit360 - try changing the sata data cables and use some different sata port on the mobo - this should fix your issue.
