Yeah, the PSU can run it, but then again the same explanation holds about PSU's. A lower watted but highly efficient PSU > a higher watted low efficiency PSU.
so a CM Real Power Pro 460W >>> CM Extreme 500W.
For a 4770 however, I would not worry much. It is a low power consuming card anyway.

i want to play games at max 1280*1024 since i only have a 17 inch crt monitor..
so will 4850 or gts250 be a overkill to play at that resolution with all settings high
or can i go for one of them..
which one is better of the two at my settings..
please state pros and cons of these two cards..

No, GTS250/ HD4850 won't be overkill, but you need to have a good SMPS(500W atleast- local cheap SMPS won't count). You can max out any game with those GPUs @ 1280x1024 with 4x/8xAA(except- Crysis).
HD4850:
Pros:
1.DirectX 10.1 support(with DX11, DX10.1 is dead, so its not a pro technically)
Cons:
1.Runs a bit hot.
2.No PhysX support.
GTS250:
Pros:
1.Has PhysX.
2.Runs comparatively cooler.
Cons:
1.No Dx10.1
In most game benchmarks GTS250 is marginally faster than HD4850,so you may like to get it.

You really put your point across straight and clear. I like that.
Honestly even I feel that the Apple Products (including the Macbook) are way way way over priced for their price. They have a niche market and am not really sure why people purchase their equipment for such exuberant prices.
I tried the MacBook/iPhone/iPOD and found them really irritating to use. Way too over priced.

Hi guys,
My dad's buying some PC's for his office and needs a reasonable configuration(for mostly buisness applications and the like.) the price limit is around 15K
each.
could you all suggest some configs. Also as its gonna run ONLY buisness apps(NO games, movies etc.) plz post configs mebbe and AMD/Intel comparison if you got the time..and its pros and cons.no graphics cards needed.
So very low end configs will do..
Also note as its mostly for business concentrate mainly on the processor/ram bit...
PLZ post quickly as i need it urgently..Thanks in advance.

Friends...
Help me out.
My mashi is in need of updating her pc.
She has scraped around Rs.12000-13000(max) for the purpose.
We will only change the cpu,mobo,ram,hdd,dvdrw and the smps(if possible,add a new mouse&keyboard).
Can anybody suggest something?
I have my final mbbs exam within a month so cant delve into much details at the momment myself.
Proposed usage:movies,music with an occasional game.
Oh,I am from Kolkata.
---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Treatment in progress...
yes i did bro....
but here now i have revised the budget to 12-13k,u see...and so cant afford the gigabyte psu as suggested....
isnt there a good 500w psu bundled with a cabby?shud be enuf for such a rig in my opinion?
Most cabby comes bundled with 400-450W generic PSU. They may provide all required juice to the above mentioned rig but as their efficiency is low they will consume much power.
If you want something cheap then you can get Colorsit 450 PSU which is around Rs. 1K and will suffice for the above mentioned rig. For the cheapest psu look for zebronics sata power plus 450W around 400-500 bucks. For HDD get 320GB one. It will save around 200-300 bucks.
For Ram get 1GB one if you are going to get the colorsit psu. It will save you around 600-700 bucks.
