I'm currently working out which PSU to purchase for my new build.

Components are:

I56600K (Plan to overclock)
Evo 212x
2 x 8GB DDR4
1TB SATA hybrid drive
Sapphire RX 480 Nitro + OC 8GB
3 x 120mm case fans

I've been looking at the 550W Super Flower Golden Green on the OCUK website. I've also had my eyes on a 750W EVGA G2; however that us looking at £115 so out of my budget (ideally want to keep it between £50 - £100).

I may wish to upgrade to Vega when it is released. Can anyone recommend a PSU taking into consideration the above? I am not sure what Wattage I will need.

I currently have a 430W Corsair CX PSU. Would this be OK with the above temporarily (no OCing)?

Do you think my 430W CX will tide me over until the purchase of the SuperFlower?

Do you have the Bronze rated CX430 ? as that has a bit more power on the 12V rail (384W) over the 80+ version which has 336W.

You should just about be alright to use it until you get the SuperFlower, but don't go doing any overclocking until then.
