Yeah 430 is kinda low!! It should work for now but if you are going to be adding stuff you prob want a bigger one. I got a 600watt incase of upgrades which i will do!
 
That Antec is a good unit though, the 9600GT is less power demanding than my 8800 too so it should be alright.
 
yea i was on a budget when i built the pc so i went with a 430..i plan to get a new dvd burner.. 2 more hardrives..and a soundcard..so i'll most def have to upgrade soon

Look at the hec Orion 585W... or the OCZ 700W ($95 after rebates), and HX520, ect...
 
Well whatever size psu you go for m8 dont try and get a cheap one as these are more liking to cause you problems later if not sooner ive had a friend tell me he got a bargin 650w psu for his pc (his system needed just 300w) only for it to fry his m/b three weeks later
