harshil is right .. if Op was getting a HD7870 only then cx430v2 is good enough but the XT consumes almost ~60w more.

but i have PSU- corsair 430v2 will it run such powerful GPU ?

sell cx430v2 also. skip cooler now or get hyper tx3 evo as suggested by Cilus. so the config is
i5 4430 - 13k
gigabyte ga - b85m- d3h - 6.2k
hd 7870 XT- 18k / gtx 760 -19k
gskill ripjaws X 8gb ram - 4.5k
nzxt gamma - 2.5k
seasonic s12 ii 520- 4k.
Since, he is strictly not going to overclock, don't you think stock cooler of cpu should suffice??
in summer, when he will be gaming, the cpu temp will rise inexorably. Although in winter there may not be any problems. my i7 with stock cooler has hit 84-85c when playing crysis 2 on summer.

I think Op should skip the cooler for now and get something better than TX3 Evo later.

@ Op - congrats but even the pics are not loading for me as well .. so as of now instead of attachment we better use 3rd party image sharing websites.

BTW, @ OP - do share the price of the components with us well .
