@Jakob don't you think a Llano setup will be more apt for OP's requirement, I am suggesting him one to keep options rolling.

@vikrant_027 this is what you can get from AMD --
AMD A6-3500 ~4500/-
MSi A75 G55 ~5500/-
Corsair ValueRAM 4GB x2 ~2500/-
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB ~4000/- [OR buy from the TE Member's market to save cash]
Sasmsung / HP optical drive ~1000/-
Cooler Master eLite 310 ~1500/-
FSP Saga II 400W ~1900/- [if it is available] OR Cooler Master GX450W ~3000/-
BenQ G2220HDAL ~7800/- [this is a full HD 21.5" LED backlit monitor but, does not have an HDMI-IN connector] OR Dell IN2030M ~6500/-
APC BR600VA-IN ~1900/-

Hope this helps, Cheerio!!

Pls suggest which PSU to buy:
1 . Corsair CX430 : Rs2700
2. FSP Saga II 500W : Rs2250

I am bit inclined towards FSP as it is 500W & lower cost but then there is CORSAIR brand & build quality . Both have 2 years warranty
I have to order online as neither of these is available locally.

Suggest which one should i go for & if possible the site to order it from .
Thanks...

@vikrant_027 you can purchase the Corsair CX V2430W from flipkart. Here is the link --> Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts PSU | Psu | Flipkart.com.

The salient features of the Corsairs SMPS over its FSP competitor are --
  • the cables are longer and of better quality, fully sleeved vis-á-vis partially sleeved in the FSP Saga series;
  • the Corsair SMPS although rated @80+ Standard efficiency at ~30° has held onto 80+ Bronze efficiency @50° C in reviews;
  • Corsair's after sales network is impeccable all over India.

The price is a bit more than the regular street price but you are getting it fast on your doorstep.
