corsiar builder series 430 watts enough?

[Rob_the_scot]

I was giving a new corsiar 430watt psu (moduler) from a good friend I was wondering could t power the following
i3
ssd
sapphire 7870

no hdds or optical drives its a itx build,
I will be changing out the 7870 for a gtx 750 ti evga (one with out 6 pin) and the i3 will be going upto a i5 with a corsiar h60

psu is brand new not used he bought it than upgraded his system so had no use for it and gave it to me

with the 750ti is should be enough, an may even be enough with the 7870 (possibly pushing it a bit though)

i don't understand why you are going to downgrade the 7870 with a 750TI am i missing something?

430w will power a 7870 and a i3 its not going to give you any head room though.

Linux AMD drivers are crap.
