It's a Corsair 430W

Ugh I'm gonna find it hard to decide, if the PSU dies, does it break the motherboard etc?

what stops you getting OCZ 500W one for like 30 pounds... 430 would work in your build, but it would be stressed a lot. Overclock would be defenite no-no

I heard the OCZ 500W isn't a very reliable PSU, is this true?

Okay so I appreciate all your replies and I think I'll just wack it in my system since it arrived a few hours ago.

I had 2 120mm fans, Arctic pro freezer 7 CPU heatsink, 1 500GB SATA HDD and a 64GB SSD

Does that change anything? D:

Doesn't work, the card needs 2x 6pin PCI connectors, instead of getting an adapter I may as well just upgrade. Thanks for the help
