8600GTS quite low power . it may even do without that power conector . so any good smps in 2k range will do.

in a review i read , it says that the 8600GTS stays well below 75W limit of the pcie slot . i dunno abt OCed versions . use the pcie power connector , i aint asking u not to use it .i was only emphasizing the fact that it wont need a high end psu . a psu around 2k like VIP, powersafe , zebronics shud do . wat is the amperage on the 12 volt rail in the 2 zebby psu's u mentioned ? i think 22A on 12volt shud be enough for it . in fact 8800GTS requirs 26A . so that zebby psu shud be enough for 8600GTS.

Urgent Final Clarifications required before purchase this weekend:

I have ordered Intel C2D E4400 and XFX 650i Ultra Motherboard for 10.8k... I will be making the other purchases at Richie Street, Chennai this weekend... Before that, I need to clarify a few doubts.... The following is my rough config
(Note that my total budget is about 35k)

1. Processor + Motherboard - 10800

2. RAM - 2x1GB DDR2-667 - 3500

3. HDD - Seagate SATA2 16MB cache 250GB - 3000

4. Optical - Sony/Liteon SATA DVD Writer 18x - 1850 (Is it worth going for SATA or is PATA enough?)

5. 17" Samsung Monitor - 4700

6. KB+Mouse - approx 1600 to 1800
Alt 1: Logitech Spill proof Keyboard+MX518 mouse
Alt 2: iBall Laser Precise Combo

7. Graphics card - budget around 8k - currently confused whether to go for DX10 card at all, since my current gaming needs (as foreseen for next one year at least) will not include it - not even planning to go for Vista right now... Will a 7600GT card do for now? Also, will the RAM on the card 512 MB give significant boost to performance over 256MB?

8. Cabinet + SMPS - Budget 2.5 to 3k - Thinking about Zebronics Antibiotic or iBall Workhorse... Will decide after seeing in first person, and looking at other alternatives... For the above config, what do you think would be the necessary SMPS, and is there any specific pin connections, etc that I should be looking for? Will the included SMPS for the Antibiotic or the Workhorse be sufficient? Is the single fan in iBall Workhorse enough?

9. Software - Already have Win XP Home Edition... Need to get a good AV - How much do KIS and NOD32 cost?

Thanks in advance
Arun

@elator
no way a 20 pin PSU work on a system with g card. It may work if u have no gcard and the CPU is not a power monger.
Get a 400~450w local PSU for 500/- if its an 8600GT. If ur going for any card hifger than it, then ull have to buy a 400~500w rated PSU whichll cost u a minimum of 2k
