Nope don't go for the VIP stick to Corsair and you'll be fine.
Ohk let me see. I want a cheap solution. How about a used vx450?

Also @Jakob where in mumbai are these psu's available at the prices you mentioned. wherever i ask its atleast 250-300 or even 500 more!

Bro found the cheapest solution to be a used cm extreme power 500w for 1k. Now my question is, will this handle a cpu oc and still serve the 6850?
I know and understand your suggestions are all a very good solution and i truely appreciate that. But the lack of returns for the older pc parts actually is pushing my budget to the lower end as much as possible. I will be using this rig for not more than 6 months from now.
Appreciate your responses.

A used VX450 would be a good choice,The prices change everyday so few bucks here and there always possible,Try getting quotes from lamington road Mumbai you might get it for lesser price.
Don't go for CM Extreme 500W it's highly unstable unless you want to see smokes coming out of your case i'd say stay away from it.
You have to invest good amount of cash for a better psu so you shouldn't compromise things while getting one,You can sell Cosair CX430V2 after 6 months if you want you'll get a good resale price.

Lost my shoes. Uff. Totally budget ****ed. Well now the only option available is either cx 430 or worst case scenario cm extreme power 500.
Bro, is that cm psu really that bad?

If you really want to blow your GPU with PSU then it's your call,You've 10k GPU in your system so think about that and get the psu.

Bro, have a guy selling the vx450 for 2k + shipping from bangalore. Is it a good deal. With invoice and approx 3 years warranty still over it. Purchased in feb 2011. Else how much should i quote a guy selling vx 550 bought in 2010.

VVX450 with 3 years warranty it's a very nice deal,Go for it.For VX550 you should get it for 3k since it's been used for 2 years,The new one used to come at 4.5k.
Jakob

^Yes it is.
Is it a lot better than it?
Jakob

It'll do the job for you,What basis are you asking if the VX450 is better?
Thanks @Jakob, appreciate your assist.

Well regarding what basis is that question, is will it handle an oc better than cx and also will another hdd be supported alongwith the oc!
The reason i am all over oc is because at times i game on my 40" bravia and it needs oc to run games smoothly.

Yes it'll handle OC and HDD's better than CX series,Also gaming on 40" bravia won't improve just by Ocing the GPU you simply need better GPU but it'll do the job.
Generally i game on a 19" and ocassionally on the 40". But have to oc the cpu to get a good experience. I rarely oc the gpu. But just am ashtonished to know that a 3 year old ohkish rig can run all the latest games almost maxed.
Seller shipped it and now awaiting the product. Well one more query! He was talking about processor power supply 4x4 connector. Was saying to connect it properly else would blow up the connection. What is this about?
Its a 2x2 connector. The connector is keyed such that you won't be able to plug it in if you dont insert it in the right orientation. And if you don't connect it, your system just won't power on.
