Then get a CX400 or if you can spend some 500-700 more then get a VX450

Would CX400 be able to handle a 5850? The spec for the GPU says 500W. Also, the GPU requires two PCI-E connectors....

Go for atleast a Corsai VX 450W or for a breathing space pick up the Corsair VX 550W

Lol! a VX550W! You got to be kidding me!

CX400 can handle 4870, I do not know much about the power consumption of 5850 but at max you should get a VX450, nothing above that period!
 
Budget: can spend upto 4k
GPU: want to use something like 5850
MoBo : Abit IP35e
Proccy: Intel Core2Duo e6550
RAM 4Gb DDR2 800Mhz

for which PSU should i go?
can stretch my budget by some bucks if i get something good.

Yeah, go with what DarkAngel has suggested, although a Seasonic S12II 430W would have sufficed but for that budget Seasonic S12II 520W is a good buy.
 
thanks for your kind avise both you.
keeping in mind, future upgrades. suppose i upgrade the proccy to i7, or x6 and Mobo to a DDR3 capable one. around 6gigs of RAM and something around 5850 as a GPU then which one should i get. I really liked the range from Seasonic. Wont mind spending some more keeping an eye for future upgrade. AS i dont want to spend again on a PSU for next 2 or say 3years.

Get Seasonic S12II 520W, period!

You wont need any more PSU upgrade as long as you decide to stick with just one GPU :)

This is an excellent PSU in all aspects.
 
OK Sir. As you say will place the order with ITwares tomo on your words.
Just out of cuorosity i wish to ask that why there are very high potential PSU's i.e like 750W or 850W.
lol earlier i made my mind on getting Seasonic 12D 850W until i read your saying.

and please once again. should i go wi S12II 520W on your advise? :)

Yeah, dont worry you'll be fine with that PSU and will handle all your future needs as well, but dont get too carried away with it and get a monster like 5890 etc. and run it on this PSU

The 750W+ etc PSUs are for people who will be needing two/three GPUs + extreme overclocking.

If you still have doubts and have no budget problems as such you can consider SeaSonic S12II 620W SMPS or Corsair VX550W, although that 520W can handle everything you mentioned.
 
Ok Master. I'll go and purchase Seasonic S12II 520W with eyes closed on your word. Will get back to you once i receive it. :) Thanks a ton for your precious advise.

hmm..get a Corsair VX550W if you plan to stick with one GPU

It would last you many years to come and will handle anything you throw at it.
