I have a 5 year old pentium 4 setup without any graphic cards. I use it for browsing/downloading/studying and occasional gaming. Off late i became interested in the hardware aspects of my system and developed enthusiasm for upgrading some key components as and when funds were sufficiently available.
This enthusiasm led me to the enthusiast series of CORSAIR PSUs especially the much talked about CORSAIR VX450W which impressed me the most and made up my mind in getting one after reading numerous reviews, discussions and articles about it.
Two weeks back i even enquired about it in SP road Bangalore and got a positive response for its availability at a reasonable price well within my budget of Rs.3200 (stretchable up to Rs.3500). So after two weeks when the money was in hand i set out to get the device, i hear to my utter despair, is that the dealers at Sadar Patrappa Road are telling that CORSAIR has stopped production of the item in question. Curse my bad luck
So friends excusing me for the long post please help me with regard to;
1. Is it true that CORSAIR VX450W will no longer be available? Did I miss a golden opportunity?
2. Suggest me the best alternatives for a price range of Rs.3000 to Rs.4000.
3. How about SEASONIC S12 II 520W?
4. Can i go for online purchase from ITWARES or ITDEPOT, are they reliable in delivery after payment? How about after sales service?
My upgrading project of the PC will take a long time (like adding one part in one month or two depending on the funds) and the I am looking at acquiring a low to medium end Graphic card, CPU cooling device(my choice at the moment COOLER MASTER HYPER 212plus) to start with and gradually upgrading the MB and CPU at a later stage.
