Can a CX430 power this rig?

I'm planning a personal build for myself at a medium budget of $600. Currently it looks like this:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE

Sapphire Radeon HD 6850

Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 AM3+

8gb G*Skill Ripjaws

1 TB 7200 RPM Western Digital

Sony SATA Optiarc DVD Burner

Cooler Master 430 Elite

Cooler Master Blue LED 120mm fans x2

Cooler Master GeminII S CPU Cooler

The system is pretty low-powered but when I used the PSU tool on Newegg, it gave a 500w recommendation. However, if I get a CX500, then I'll be above budget (including rebates). I also really want to stick with Corsair as they are known for their high quality in this regard. Recently, I read reviews stating that the 12v rating on this PSU was lower than the standards that Corsair would set. I don't care how well it compares, I just want to know if it will power this rig. I also plan a slight overclock on my 955 up to at least 4.0 ghz. I don't want anyone suggesting a different PSU, just tell me if this works, if not, I'll find one on my own.

Cheers,

Sean
