[Build Help] Will a Corsair CX430 be able to support a R9 270x (using a 2molex to 6-pin adapter for second connection)?

Post Body

I'm planning on upgrading someones PC who currently uses only an APU. I'd like to get them a R9 270x since I am able to get it cheaper than a R9 270 (which only uses one 6-pin pci-e and have read on multiple sources that there is no problem here) or other lower rating cards. The problem is when I look up CX430 with a R9 270x, there seems to be mixed thoughts on the compatibility.

Should I go for it or find something with a single 6-pin connector until they upgrade their psu?
