Explain why.... No hard feelings

A friend in my locality owns this one with a 6870 and phenom x6. And its working absolutely fine from atleast two months. Dunno about the future though. But it is really silent at 100% load.. It is better than corsair CX500.

Atleast for indian climate, do not put yours hand on CX series from corsair. They are good PSU's but rated only at 30 dc. Check with tirupati if seasonic 430 is available, if not then go for seasonic 520.

Also check these if looks dont matter to you :

Buy FSP | FSP Blue Storm Pro 500 500W PSU

Seasonic 500W SS-500ES Power Supply
 
^^ actually I preferred itwares coz I plan to go there to buy razer lycosa,hence thought will buy the psu from him as well.

Anyways can you recommend me one more option other than the seasonic.coz looks matter a little bit.:cool2:

I can extend budget to 4 k.cheers
 
if budget is 4k,go for gs 600 or seasonic s12ii 520w which is solid 80 plus bornze for 3.6k,if u can extend to 4.6k then get vx550w which is monster,u can use sli/crossfire graphic cards.

The Cooler Master GX 450 W can really deliver its labeled wattage at high temperatures. During our test five, however, the unit shut down from time to time due to its over temperature protection kicking in (this protection was available, as we could clearly see by the presence of two thermal sensors, one for this circuit and one for the fan circuit).

Also see what jonny is sayin...

Price/performance ratio is too low for CM GX450!! You can get VX450, paying 300 bucks more or Seasonic 430, paying 200 less... ;)

Really?? Then its a no-brainer...
 
VX450 isnt available bro.. its EOL... Thats the reason why is suggested GX450 (always a personal experience is better when suggesting things with confidence) or seasonic 520 (only at tirupati AFAIK)

As said by Dark Angel, Seasonic S12II 430w is enough to power even 6870 with ur rig..
 
^^ i see what you did there:bleh:

@ megamind that is actually my first choice but its avaibility at lammy seems scarce.

Anyways i will try to get the seasonic one and if i dont find that will take the vx 550

Ad if i dont find that will come back and just order from ebay.

Thanks a ton for all your suggestions.
 
seasonic s12ii 430w will handle hd6850+any ram and hdd nicely,for future proof if u want to upgrade like 6950 or something get seasonic s12ii520w or gs600 or vx550w.
 
According to me as years pass products will be launched which would be delivering more output but will consume less power.. I have really not used VX550. heard good reviews about VX550 (not the W version though). Its still the best if we find it. But for a 6850 i have used gigabyte superb 460 with a system having 3 HDD's and all other standard stuff. Used that PSU for more than 6 or 7 months. Sold to Tiwari on TE. Its still working fine. So IMO if you want to save up then get GS600 ( I have one. Sexy PSU). And moreover I too own a 6850 OC 850mhz ... I dont think my system utilizes more than 350W on full load whereas GS600 can deliver well above 520w on 12v rail
 
u will have to contact tirupati or itwares for seasonic psu.
