erm, this probably has been asked a million times, anyhow i'm heading off to Bangalore to buy a new PSU for an 8800GT i'm gettin :cool2: i have a budget of 2k, can stretch it to the max to 2.4k, which PSU would you guys suggest? My config is as follows :

AMD X2 3600+ Windsor
80 GB IDE + 250 GB SATA + 160 GB SATA
Creative Live! 5.1 24bit PCI Sound Card
LG DVD-RW
and 2GB of RAM, i've attached two 80mm Fans with Molex connectors.

I'm a complete n00b when it comes to PSU and "How much power does this component consume" so a little help will be appreciat :hap2: :hap2:
 
The Coolermaster Extreme Power Plus 460W would fit the bill and leave u with a change of a couple of 100s; :)

Had u got around 600-700 more, perhaps the Corsair VX450W would be the best choice; :P

How come 2.4+.7=3.1 is Cosair availabe at that Price:huh:
 
Thanks a lot :) time for a noob question:

How is the Corsair better than the CM when they have the same Wattage? Pretty sure it's not only the wattage that matters, but just feel like knowing :P
 
Quality of the components like caps used, Active PFC, massive heatsinks, a better 120mm fan, better amperage on the +12v rail, the quality of the OEM manufacturer and so on; :)

@rockyjvm: predatorvj had quoted a price of 3.2k IIRC in his deal thread; hunt; :P
 
Guess it can't be helped :D will try and do some cash-gathering and go in for it, any trustworthy shops in Bangalore that might have teh Corsair in stock? Any shops you guys recommend?

Got a POV BD 500W for 2600 . the corsair one is for 3600. is the extra 1000 rs justified?

yes ,extr 1K is justified.

you will get a PSU that is much reliable with good components.
CORSAIR 450W has average rating of 450 W while CM 500W PSU has max. power rating of 500W .

so CORSAIR 450VX is what i think is best PSU in that range .

Justified?? :O
That comparison is blasphemy. :no:
Can you prove that a POV Black Diamond is worth the 2.5K you paid for it. :bleh:

Bikey i did not compare These two. what i am saying is the price range of the two are completely different. almost Rs 1000. so how cant the two be in the same price range? j
