bro you have to understand, the PSU is the heart of the PC. i said before and im repeating now, it'd be plain stupid to go for a cheapass PSU, even if the PC is a 15-20K rig. ask any experienced member, they'll all say the same.
and @2.7K, if you are getting a MUCH better product than a 2.5K product, then you should go for it. as its, OP is going for a lower budget CPU, he can as well invest the money here.
as for the VS series from Corsair... its the WORST that corsair [OEMs] supplies. Made out of budget materials. See?? Budget materials, on a budget process.
Now, as of late CX430V2 PSUs are having a tad higher failure rate.. Thats why we are suggesting Antec VP. Its very good, and provides rock solid stable voltages.
Capiche??
Will be useful when he thinks to upgrade later.

the power is not the facctor between CX430V2 and VP450.. 20W is not much headroom for upgrades.
What he'll get is a better slightly better product.
