[rob2651983]

Hi Every one,

I am planning to upgrade from a 7300 gt 512 MB card to either 9800 gt to Ati4850. I need a good psu that will be able to provide the required juice for the system.

Following are my pc config details:

Motherboard: Asus P5B-VM
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.8 GZ
Ram - Kingston 667 mgz 1 GB X 2
Hard Disk: 1 Samsung IDE 160 GB, 1 WD SATA 500 GB
Optical Drive: Samsung DVD Writer
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite - 335
Monitor: AOC 416 V 24 inch (1920x1200)

My budget is 3 K. If possible I need something in 2.5k-3k range.
Thanks in advance guys.

Corsair CX400 :hap2:

Gigabyte superb 450w with 80+ efficiency for around 2.3k

 

[geek ashish]

+1
Ideal would be Corsair VX450w
but u can also go for Gigabyte 460W

 

[ev1lb0ygen1us]

cx400 all the way

 

[111diablo111]

+1 to cx400W

CX400 costs 3.3k+VAT i.e. ~3450/- . So I'd suggest the Sea sonic S12II 380W for ~3k.

gigabyte superb 460w..

will be a bit tuf to find

cx400 and seasonic 380 are other options too...

corsair,seasonic will cost u around 3.2k

while gigabyte will be arnd 2.3k

extreme power psu's are mediocre at best and though it would handle 4850, i really wouldnt recommend it
Corsairs come with 5 years warranty as well, do note this point

Another recommendation for getting the Corsair CX400.

I just bought Corsair VX450 for 4050.Rs and its superb with its efficiency and low noise level so my suggestion is GO FOR CORSAIR VX400 for ~3 but its worth the money because think the power you save in the long run due to its ~85% efficiency :hap2:
So don't try to save few 100 bucks now and loose so much through EB bill

Seasonic S12II 380W around 3k.

CX 400 will cost you 3.3k, You can Tagan stone-rock U37-TG 500 for 3.3k~

 

[Audiophi1le]

Gigabyte 460 2.5k
Seasonic 380w 3~k
TAgan 500w 3.1k~
CX 400 3k~

Corsair & Tagan - 3yrs warranty)

 

[extol]

seasonic 380w (3k)

i think i L go for the corsair vx 450.... although i L have to stretch my budget a bit more. by the way, will it b able to handle 4870 or gtx 260 incase I decide to go for it?

 

[sabby]

yeah, it can handle even a GTX275 or a 4890 with ease.
