Calculate your system power consumption from here, and if it turns out to be 100w less than your PSU's throughput then you're always safe unless you do a hefty upgrade such as a high end GPU.

Corsair VX450 nowadays are not as good as they used to be before, i.e, manufactured ~ DEC2011. And cx430 is even worse than that. Actually Seasonic SII-430 is the best PSU there is in the sub Rs.3000 bracket, they were better built than the older VX450's but only had ~20 W less real-power. Seasonic SII 430W can very easily take the load of your PC, it can provide more and cleaner power than any other PSU mentioned here.

For a detailed explanation read this page.

after calculation i got recommended 330 Watt !! at present i m running pc at Mora 400w smps from few days ! i hope to get some old vx450 !
otherwise i have to go with seasonic as they have 5 year warranty :p

BTW how is CX500 building series smps ,as it also has some 80 certificate ?

@blackperl Its the best option for you, good enough even to handle 7850. Now chip in future upgrades without any 2nd thought.
