Query:
Which PSU to get among these four: FSP Saga 500W, Corsair CX500 V2, Corsair GS500W & Seasonic S12II-520W? Or something with higher wattage?
Rig will be something like this, including future probable expansions:-
C2Q 9550
Gigabyte EP45-DS3R
2x2GB DDR2 800
4-5 HDDs
Radeon 5770 1GB
Blue Ray Drive
TV Tuner Card
Sound Card
Expansion card for USB 3.0 etc.
Wi Fi Card
3-4 fans
No OC. Budget as low as possible and quality as good as possible.

get Seasonic S12II 620 assuming your future upgrade won't include a much more power hungry graphics card than 5770.
It will be other way round.
S12II 520W then. Actually just stumbling on one piece of information: GS500 has 39A over a single 12V rail and S12II 520W has 40A over 2 rails. But then Seasonic is 80+ bronze certified. I hope it will be alright.
Would have loved to get a TX550M, unfortunately, they are yet to be available here.

It is from the official dealer Arihant. I asked the FSP sales people and they directed me to Arihant. and after long wait i got the prices..
How is the price??
I think Arihant is not very excited with this PSU as their response was very cold..
Hello Friends.
I did not have the intention of creating a separate thread for this single query of mine and hence decided to post it here.
I sincerely apologise if I have violated the decorum of this forum.
My query is -
Will a Corsair TX850 V2 power supply unit be sufficient to sustain two MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics cards in CrossFire X mode?

Yes..
Thank you MegaMind and SuperH3art.
SuperH3art, currently I am in England. I intend on building a new system for myself when I go back home and thus I enquired in advance!
The Corsair TX850 V2 is available for purchase on Prime ABGB.

hey guys, i have a Hytech 450W [19A on +12V] and i ran my PC with following specs for 1+ year.
CPU : Pentium dual core E5300 2.6GHz OCed to 3.4GHz [65W TDP]
mobo: ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS
RAM : 2X2 GB DDR2 800MHz
HDD: 250GB WD caviar blue + 500GB hitachi + 1TB WD green
ODD: LG DVD burner
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT240 1GB DDR3 [OCed to 630MHz]
PSU : hytech 450W [19A on +12V]
3 fans [2 LED]
never exp. any prob.
i sold my proccy, mobo and RAM 3-4 months ago, and now going to buy a new cpu and mobo. final rig will be this,
CPU: AMD athlon II X4 / phenom II X4 840 [95W TDP]
mobo: gigabyte / ASUS 760G[780L] chipset based
RAM: 4GB corsair 1333mhz
HDD: 80GB IDE drive + 1TB WD green
ODD: N/A
GPU: GT240 1GB DDR3 [on stock]
PSU: hytech 450W [19A on +12V]
No extra fans
is it safe to run above config on same hytech psu? with no OC at all [can consider underclocking CPU to save power
]
bcoz if i choose to buy a branded PSU, i will have to compromise on CPU [will go for AMD athlon II X2 which is crap CPU for gaming] so i don't really want to spend more on a psu if it can handle above listed rig
