The SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 will work fine with the Corsair 430w power supply.

The CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 430W power supply should work fine in the Studio 540 Mini Tower.

A hint: The 8 Pin EPS 12V power connector divides into 2 x 4-pin sections, either of these 4-pin connectors can be used for the motherboard's P2 [square] 4-pin connector.

Hi perlsyntax,

Please click this link: http://bit.ly/19wl1GU

Select the Processor type, Video card and hard drivers present in the system and click Calculate.

You can select any suggested Power Supply from the list.

Hope this helps!

No, the Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHZ 1 GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card, requires a 450w, or higher  power supply, with a PCI-E 6-pin power connector

If your power supply has one six-pin PCIe connector, it should be sufficient for the 7770. If not, an upgrade is in order. (Note that an Anandtech review pegs system power consumption at full gaming load at 250 watts.)

The 7750 will work without a power supply upgrade. For what it's worth, I have an HIS H775F1GD in my XPS 8500.

The Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHZ 1 GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card should work with Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS  80 PLUS, as the video card manufacturers overstate their card's power requirements.

I notice that Amazon has a Corsair Builder Series 500w power for sale for $58.24 on the same page and the 430w is $45.24

Regards to 'is this the same one', the Corsair Builder Series power supplies shown on Amazon are the same.
