A friend's getting a GTS and needs to upgrade from his generic 400W PSU. I've got no idea what's available at what prices so let me know if you have a used PSU for sale ~2k. Alternatively, if a brand new PSU (Powersafe?) costs a bit more than 2k, I'll ask him to consider that. He's ready to buy immediately because his GTS will arrive anytime now.

Does he have any budget marked out for the psu?
GTS but no money for a good PSU.
A new Powersafe 500 has 18A on 12v and should not cost more than 2.5k i think- maybe lower now.
But is that enough for the GTS- depending on overall rig too?:S :ashamed:

I finally got him to get an X2, 2GB memory and the GTS... and now, to spend 2k on a PSU. And no kidding, it took me close to a year to get him to upgrade lol.About his setup, X2 3600 + 2GB memory + 1 optical + 2 hdd's + GTS. A quality 450 watter will handle this setup, so keep those suggestions coming. I guess the Powersafe 500W will be worth considering... should be around 2.2k now, but availability in Bangalore is a big question.
Zebronics sells a Delta OEM 500W PSU...that retails for arnd 1600 bucks all inclusive. You can go to Megabyte in the lane just opposite the ICICI bank in SP Road & checkout the PSU there.Looks to be very heavy & quite solid. Got SATA as well as EPS 8-pin connectors.
See the link below....the PSU at the bottom of the page (middle one) is the one I am talking about.
