Yes, I already know that bhai, I was asking about its performance and how much you are satisfied with it like that. I always have one thing in mind that you underplayed by not going for 880GMA-E45 IMHO, I may be wrong though.

everything is working lag free..i have also oced with no probs...
actually i hadn't gone for gigabyte 880gm ud2h, i didnt even knew about it, i ordered gigabyte 785gmt us2h but smcinternational sent me this one..

i will advice not to get a gtx460 with your current processor. your gt240 is enough.

for psu -
Corsair CX400W @ 2.7k
FSP Blue Storm Pro 400 @ 2.7k
FSP saga II 500W @ 2.2k

are you sure about the price of blue storm pro? If so can you help me find a reliable online seller.

i read that 450W is minimum wud 24a on +12V.

and i am waiting for bulldozer to launch next year. or else maybe i will buy athlon X4 635 this jan.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@redlofredlof
check smcinternational.in

@happy17292
if you are going for a gtx460 you need a corsair vx450w @ 3.7k minimum.
for your current rig with gt240 those psus i mentioned are fine.
also we cant comment on the power requirement of bulldozer chips but athlon 635 will run fine on whichever psu you go for.

 

[happy17292]

^^^^^ yeah i am thinking of athlon X4 since i dont want to upgrade to DDR3 this time.
a friend suggested TAGAN 500W. i dont know model. he told me that is sells @ 3k.

Guys need to buy a 350w power supply for a X4 based system without GPU, I was recommended FSP Saga II, but its not available here in Ahmedabad. Please recommend and alternative for about 1500Rs. Nothing more than that.

Please reply quickly. Thanks.

 

[Gollum]

I think gigabyte psu's are at the same price point. Also cooler master extreme series psu's are cheap but not recommended.
