i have
pentium dual core E5300 [sometimes OCed to 3+GHz to play GTA4 smoothly]
4GB DDR2 800MHz
1GB GT240 DDR3
DVD drive
2HDDs [250GB caviar blue and 500GB hitachi]
2X LED fans 80mm and one normal 92mm fan
450W hytech psu with 19A on +12V rail
is this safe to install 3rd HDD with this SMPS??
i want to backup all my game discs on new HDD.
can this psu handle all 3 HDDs? or i have to upgrade SMPS too?
should i buy external USB casing to make that HDD external and backup all games on it?

Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
Corsair 1X4GB DDR3
Cooler Master Elite 430
Logitech MK200
BenQ G2222HDL
APC Back UPS 600
LG 22X
Seagate 1 TB 7200
Bought the above system. I bought Corsair GS600 for this. But I heard the 6870 draws 200W at times. Do you think I might face any issues?
Also, I found that BenQ monitor power cable provided was 16A cable, thats provided with the heavy loads like AC/Fridge etc., Neither my UPS nor my conventional 3-pins can hold that! Should I use any converter? If so like what? Please help!

Thanks
Reg monitor cable, no, I mean benq provided 16A plug (Which is also 3-pin like heavy loads as AC/Fridge etc.,) as the end of the monitor power cable. Where as in general, normal 3-pin which is smaller is provided. Now, how can I connect the provided 16A cable to the normal small 3 pin plug-in? Hope you got it.
Why do u think heavy load cable might have been provided? Is there any converter to have this connect to the normal 3 pin plugin? Anyways I got it working through a converter. Everything went fine till I installed the graphics card!
Unfortunately am seeing issues!!!
I used ATI 6870 with latest driver installed. However i experience really annoying problems that my screen would suddenly freeze or black out and after a few seconds it'll respond again, but it will bring me out to my desktop and a message like "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands". then ask me if i wanna report the issue to ATI etc.. Many a time there will be gray bars for a jilt of a sec across the screen when this happens when the monitor goes black, sometimes the monitor just stays black.
this card is brand new, can any expert please help me friends? I haven't installed any game and this happens when am just browsing or when I try to navigate within or even when idle! when I checked the GPU-Z, the highest recorded temp was 53c and the lowest was 45c.
Please help friends!

Whats your full system config? Considering its not a Sli or Cfx rig, get a FSP SAGA II 500w @Rs. 2k

If you can increase budget by 1k, then the Corsair GS600 is a great Psu for 4k and is very future proof. Else the Seasonic mentioned by Mega Mind or a Fsp Saga II 500w @2k will suffice.
