Depends on which graphics card you are planning to buy in future.

BTW personally I'd suggest Corsair 450VX, many would say it'd be a overkill, they are correct, but in the same time, it saves us from little bit of future upgrade tensions.

Budget is tight at 3k. Availability of Seasonic might be an issue. And VX450 is closer to 4k as stated by OP.

CX-430, CX-500 and CX-600 are of the same series. So, if its advised to stay away from CX-430 then one should probably also stay away from the other two also.
For around 3k my suggestion would be:
* FSP SAGAII 500W -- 2.1k
* Corsair CX-400 -- 2.6k
* Tagan StoneRock 500W -- 3.1k

But shipping charges for a heavy item like SMPS will ultimately kill the deal.
