Your cousin can go for the HD 6770 OR HD 6850.

If you can wait for the GPU, save some more and go for the AMD HD 6870 ~9500/- OR GTX 560 [non-Ti] ~10500/-. [for the HD 6870 OR GTX 560 you will have to bump the SMPS up to Seasonic S12II 520W]

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
 
There's no need to get 600W psu,Corsair CX430V2 would suffice for HD6770,if you're going for HD6850 or above then get Seasonic s12ii 520W-3.6k.As for ups 650VA would suffice for HD6770 and CX430V2.

What about the service of Seasonic then ?? Any clue!
 
imraviteja said:
How about Corsair CX 600V2 ?? One of the retailers said that Seasonic service not satisfactory in Hyderabad!!

Seasonic was the OEM for Corsair and most Corsair SMPSs' are based on their designs. Also the CX series by Corsair isn't really worth it, in the face of options like the Seasonic S12II 520W.

The service for Seasonic products is by Tirupati Enterprises, they have a good reputation and if anything screws up, their head office is in Chennai (AND closest office is in Bangalore), if I am not wrong --> http://www.overclockerszone.com/about_us.php.

Also! will my 650VA UPS suffice if I replace CX 430 with CX 600 ????

Anything above the Seasonic S12II 520W demands a APC BR700VA-IN model OR above.

Guys,

It seems that I cannot get NZXT Gamma in Hyd. Everyone offer Cooler Master and I really don't have any Idea about them.

Please suggest a suitable model for my Specs.

Thanks in advance

Okay,

Unfortunately I have to buy Elite 431 + for 2900. Can I know the reason why you suggested me to avoid it? It doesn't matter now but still I just wanted to know.

Also, please suggest some names for fans.

Cheers,

Teja
