no. from what others have told, this should be avoided. either back down to CX400W or get VX450W. or get FSP, Xigmatek as alternate.

Go for Corsair CX-400 instead. Bettter than cx-430. 400 has 3yr warranty where as 430 has only 2yr. Prices are also same.
So, go for cx-400..

Some words regarding the Corsiar CX PSus of high wattage like CX500 and CX600.
1. Their components are not as good as the Corsiar VX or TX series
2. They are not designed to work at high temperature. They actually provide their quoted performance only within 40 degree C. So at higher temparature actually the 500W is equivalent to VX450.
3. Their efficiency also greatly vary with temperature.

So don't put a graphics card which really needs a 500W PSU with a CX500 in Indian condition.

So ultimate choice is FSP SAGAII 500W.
