Well thanks! Not really keen on ordering from the US, that too unbranded, neither do I use credit cards. I'm a total noob when it comes to online shopping, have seldom crossed the threshold of flipkart.Honestly, I was expecting a link to an Indian e-tailer atleast. There are some on ebay.in anyways. But that was not exactly my point. Was looking for the likes of Bitfenix Alchemy / NZXT atleast, etc. I believe there are multiple importers for their products in India.Secret website called Google.com...
First link is

Though I understand most people on the internet do not know about the website. Maybe they need an ad campaign here, or get a support forum on the. Maybe you could write to the mods.
Call me finicky but that listing is not from wsretail. Still looking to buy locally anyways.The HX650 is available on flipkart. Cable length for the EPS 12V connector is 650mm.
Did you ask Tirupati when they're expecting stock for the X-650?
So, the PSU upgrade has put me in a soup. I never had to think so hard about a component upgrade ever and now, it seems I am stranded with my trusty old VX450. Here's the scenario :
I'm looking for a Seasonic based unit in the 550-650w range to replace my VX450, looking to buy locally :
1. Seasonic X560 - discontinued
2. Seasonic X650 KMIII - not available with Tirupati
3. Seasonic G550/G650/S12II/M12II - Short 12v EPS cable issue. All have only 550mm cable length, will not be able to route from behind motherboard tray of CM 690. Used to have a Coolermaster unit with 540mm EPS cable. So, I'm pretty sure about this issue. No extension cable available.
4. Corsair HX650 - not available.
5. Antec HCG - warranty issues maybe?
6. Corsair GS/TX, Cooler Master equivalents - not desired.
7. Silent pro Gold/M2 - Sketchy reviews
Do not want to exceed my budget of Rs.8,000/-, otherwise massive overkills like the X750/Vanguards are available.
It depot had the nzxt 8 pin cable for a long time, I bought one from them. I also have a lot of 4 pin extenders which work just as well and are fine for anything except the hottest 140w amd processors. You night want to check with tirupati for the extension cables that seasonic sells. I don't see why you should let a minor cable glitch give you so much grief in what is a simple decision from your list. EBay etc is absolutely fine, I've ordered stuff for years and you'll get what you want for under $5 with free shipping.
Good luck.
I said 'had'...Can you please link me to the correct product in ITdepot. Cant seem to find it.

http://realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page673.htm - Looks like there are V2 variants of the VP550P and VP650P. Nothing for the VP450P though.One more question : Is Antec making any kind of new revision of VP....P model ?
I got your point but still you know many people just don't want to go over 3k for a PSu - most of them don't even use a discrete gpu. Cx430v2 used to be decent but things have changed now.
^ show a little sympathy but you are right we can't just compromise with quality.
