You won't need near 750W for a single GPU or even most SLI/CF setups. The CX430 will run the majorty of single card setups. If you wanted to step up to something a bit nicer, you could always go for...

I've got the 600w cousin of this in my desktop right now, and I can barely hear it above the 10 dB fans. Pretty damn quiet, all things considered.

Thanks for the report.
Based on reviews, that SS-300ET I mentioned earlier appears to be near-silent.
Can you hear this at all when you're listening to any media?

750w is more than enough to run two and even three cards.
You should be looking at around 500w for one high end gpu.
IIvan tell you that this psu will support a 7850 all day long.

Be careful with CPU with over 100 watt TDPs. My 8 core FX and single GPU setup craps out with a 425w pc power and cooling when it's pegged to the max.

I thought 80% meant that a 430 Watt PSU will be efficient up to 344 Watts (80% of 430). Boy I had it way off.

Great PSU - I picked it up a few months ago when it went as low as $16 AR. Dead silent, which you can test using the 'paperclip trick' to turn the fan on. Perfect for an HTPC.

HD 7970 TDP is 210 watts MAX the only reason to not run at PSU to its rated load is if it is crap. Please note a 430 Watt PSU will be drawing 538 AC Watts at the wall outlet (80% eff).
