Then , Corsair CX430 v2 gets another vote for your budget. It'll serve you well.

FYI : I used Corsair CX400 ( old version ) with GTX 560 ti and it ran without problem without overclocking. So , yours would be fine.

the power consumption of HD5770 is lot lesser than GTX 560 ti - so even a FSP Saga 350W should handle macho84's rig just fine.

No This is a another rig. My signature rig rocks and not going to touch for next 1 year.

My worry is if by any change the gpu upgraded then i will be in trouble so better 500w as high end cards only requires more wattage in single mode.

Let me know if fsp saga 2 500w Is a good psu
e5800
4gb ddr3
500gb hdd
5770 1gb msi
few fans

I see a site selling it for 2.6k including shipping. Not sure if it can handle well enough for 5770 and max upgrade capability of gpu for this psu. say 7850 i believe.

Psu-fsp saga 2

Gadgets.in site refusing my visa card bank . Actually bank rejecting. I am worried. Hope my account is safe.

why you need to connect a HD7850 with a rig which has e5800 like cpu - the cpu will bottleneck the performance of the gpu - so better stick with HD5770 and at 2.1k and 2.5k you can get Corsair VS450 and CX430v2 respectively - so why bother with FSP which has only 2 yrs. of warranty ?

GTX 560 Ti mentioned on my post just to show a comparison - there's absolutely no connection with the GTX 560 Ti you have ;-) and that post was for your old rig with C2D e5800 and HD5770.

You know, there's antec basiq series you can take a look at. I am not sure if there's a 400w version, but the 300w basiq series that Antec India talked about has Over Current Protection, Over Voltage protection, Short Circuit protection, Over Power Protection and Over Temperature protection.

^^ availability is an issue and the price is also on the higher side - the BP350 and BP450 models are selling at Rs. 2240 and 3005 on FK repectively but if let's say FK is charging Rs. 200-300 more on these PSus the prices ain't so attractive as similar alternatives are available at lower prices from corsair.

Availability is a big issue man!
P.S. Have you reviewed any of them?

if corsair cx 430 v2 has enough power to support gtx 560 then i will get it but it provides on 12v rail 28 ampere and gfx required about 31 ampere. i was thinking about corsair vx 450 it provides 33 ampere.

VX450 is a EOLed model - so if you need something more beefy look for GS500.

^^ you can't compare a VS450 with VX450 - VX450 was a legendary PSU - only a TX450 ( if corsair going to make it ) can be called as the newer version of VX450 ;-)

^^ Oh ok. I knew that VS450, made only for Asia-pacific region, comes from VX450. Well, I was wrong in one part of the fact. Sorry.
