My Configuration is going to be like this:

Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K( I am an extreme overclocker & will run the processor @4.5ghz 24/7 from the very first run)

Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-UD3R

RAM: Corsair XMS3 2X2GB=4GB kit DDR3 1600Mhz(Model-CMX4GX3M2A1600C9)

CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus with an extra Blademaster Fan for push-pull setup

HDD: 3(Three) Western Digital Cavier Black 1TB HDDs

GPU: MSI GTX 570/GTX 560ti(depends on the available money). I will Overclock the GPU also by Voltage modding. But I will never go for multi-gpu setup. So, SLI/Xfire is out of our disscusson.

Audio Card: Creative X-fi titanium pci-e

Casing: NZXT tempest Evo with 6(six) Fans

All I need is rock solid stability of the RIG after Overclocking. I will run the rig OCed for 24/7 and minimum 3yrs. After all these facts which PSU will be best for me? I am thinking about Seasonic S12II 620w Bronze. How is it? I need something reliable and from a reputed brand. I don't need anything which will be huge overkill. My budget is 5,500 rupees.

Seasonic 620W(S12II-620) - 5.1K(80+ bronze)
Corsair TX650 - 5.5K(80+)

My choice would be Seasonic since it is 80+ bronze...

@ RanjanBD: I'd go for the Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W. Only difference may be that Corsair AFAIK has 5 year warranty. Seasonic has three year I think, not sure. Please check that before buying.

@BAKU, VX450+Sapphire 6850 ~ 13.5K

I hope 5750 can handle almost all games @ that res.
Any specific reason to change the GPU?

You should.

A corsair Vx 450+ Sapphire 6850= 13.5k(approx)

In 13k you can't buy both a 6870 and a PSU. The card itself will cost 12K+. Do as thetechfreak has said.

Oh didn't noticed. 5750 should be sufficient to play at 16x9 resolution with high enough details in most of the game. Any specific reason to upgrade the GFX?

Baku, for your current display resolution, HD 5750 is enough. For gaining extra performance, you can overclock the card through ATI overdrive present in Catalyst control center without any problem and it is perfectly safe.

So for now don't buy the card and wait for the AMD 7000 cards to be launched. It will reduce the price of all current gen AMD HD 6000 series cards and you can easily get a high end card + PSU within your budget.

Nice suggestion.
