Please suggest a suitable PSU for a non gaming rig below:

My New rig for a hachintosh is:

Procs: i7 2600K

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB X 4 (1600Mhz)= 16 GB

Cabinet: Corsair 400R Mid Tower Cabinet

Graphics Card: Have not purchased yet but inclining towards - Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6870 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (for mild graphics design and video editing.)

HDD: OCZ Agility 3 120 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (AGT3-25SAT3-120G)

HDD2: 1 TB Seagate 7200 sata HDD
Suggest a PSU please. I like the corsair PSU series.
 
For your rig i'd suggest you to get Seasonic S12ii 520W-3.6k or Corsair VX550W-4.5k,If you're going for anything over HD6870 then get a Seasonic S12ii 620W-4.6k,hope this helps.
 
Any good quality 450W-550W PSU will be enough for your rig. Since you like corsair series, i would suggest Corsair VX550W ~ 4.5k. Besides Corsair, other good option is Seasonic SII 620W ~ 4.5k. If you want a future proof PSU which would handle a High end rig then i would suggest getting a Corsair VX650 V2 ~ 5.5k

If you want to do graphics designing and video editing, recommend that you go for the nVidia GTX 560 OR wait for a few months and try to get its successor nVidia GTX 660Ti.

Also, if you seriously do not want to game and can invest in a professional level card on the lines of --> nVidia Quadro 2000 series and upwards do consider them. I tell this because you can utilize nVidia's CUDA architecture to augment certain softwares which are designed with this in mind.

Also I concur that you will do your graphics designing in Photoshop OR an equivalent software, the hardware based plug-ins for such softwares are better developed by nVidia.

Also depending on whichever card you take, nVidia GTX 560 OR GTX 660Ti, get the Seasonic S12II 620W ~4600/-.

If you are going for the Quadro 2000, you can invest in a Seasonic S12II 520W ~3700/- and you will have plenty of power to spare.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
 
@ ALPHA17 - Thanks for your advice. I will look into nvidia series. Have to make sure that it should be a hachintosh compatible. Tonymac has listed many nvidia cards though.

This is imp for me: for PSU, power is 1 imp point, but sound is very imp for me. I will be working in sound proof studio environment. Need no or minimum sound output from my rig. So, am cautious to choose less sound producing PSU.

Also, from the above posts i infer, that a PSU between 450 to 600 W will solve my purpose.

I can get:

Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK 500 Watts PSU

Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK 600 Watts PSU

or a 550 W corsair

Also, I am having trouble with Flipkart delivery of these products.. very annoyed.

got it.. trying to get this from nehru place today..

so my final PSU selection is S12ii 620 W..

was confused between 520 or 620 watts. Besides, i suppose, S12ii 620 W will not create much noise levels??

Which shop did you buy the Seasonic piece from?

Were other variants like the Seasonic S12II 520W available at the shop?

Thanks for the help, Cheers!!
 
He got it from SMC International i guess. Could have gotten it for a bit cheaper though.

We have all the variants from Seasonic. Let me know if you need any.
