I'd say you're at the limits of your TruePower 430. If you want to upgrade any of your parts (except maybe going from your 9800 to a X800 as they use about the same amount of power) I'd also get a new PSU. The Fortron/Sparkle 530 watt ones are very good, but if you want to stay with Antec get the TruePower/TrueControl 550.
