Is my Corsair cx430m enough to run this build ?

Hello.
I've got KFA 1030 gtx.
I7 47790k
2x8 GB ram
1 SSD
2 HDD.
Would my current psu be enough

Yes but don't go overclocking and if you upgrade to a better gpu at some point get rid of the psu and buy something decent.

it be fine and you could do a moderate overlcock as the consumption of the cpu+gpu comes to roughly 118w(88 cpu 30 gpu), so you would have enough head room, but there be no point as it wont gain anything with a 1030, you could get a graphics card that uses a single 6 pin and be fine, but you wouldnt be able to overclock if you ever wanted to,

Never tried overclocking and never had the interest to. If all I'm doing is gaming lol

Anyway, thanks for the replies boys!

overclocking can help in games, but if you not interested then its irrelevant anyways.

i got to ask though, what gaming are you doing that you using a HTPC type graphics card? even the old radeon r7 250 would perform better to an extent, surely you should swap for the rx 550 if anything else?

Just csgo, pubg and league lol

How are you running PUGB? A 1050ti is like boarderline for that game from what I hear? Haven't played CS:GO in years so don't know how well that runs nor have I ever played league.

I think you need to up your graphics card whether it's powered off the slot or a lowish powered 6 pin card.

Csgo and league all perform well on it. I ran PUbg this morning and it ran fine. Stutters a bit every now and again, mostly when high speed traveling in a vehicle or a lot of players nearby. It's about 70% playable ahhh
