Is this a good deal ??

Price from local store

i3 2100 Rs 6800
Asus P8H61 Rs 2800
LG DVD RW Rs 900
Case El cheapo Iball Rs 500

Frontech UPS 600va : 1450
Ram : Transcend 4 GB DDR3 Rs 1289 Will order this from flipkart.. (Cant buy
corsair as there is no service center in bhubaneswar)

Unfortunately, local stores are littered with crap iball/zebronics/intex/frontech psus, so ill have to order online.. Plz make the PSU under Rs 2300.. As i will be adding a HD 6850 later, i will need atleast 430 watt
Total Rs 22239

Suggest ASAP plz

Should I order that Gigabyte PSU or not ??

If you cant buy corsair then buy it from any other brand. Near my home 4GB RAM sells for 1k.
Intel Core i3 2120: 7k
Gigabyte H61M-D2H: 3k
4GB DDR3 1333MHz: 1k
Dell IN2030M: 6k
LG 22x DVD writer: 0.9k
Case IBall: 0.5k
APC 600Va: 1.4k
FSP Saga II 500w: 2.2k
Total: 21.5k
It is better than any other PSU available at this price point and Gigabyte uses FSP as their OEM. If you are unable to get this one then you can opt for Corsair CX430 V2 for 2.4k which is also very good you can get it for under 2.2k.

Talk to the hand!!!
Gigabyte would be good enough bro. Might I also suggest a 7770 over 6850? It performs better and consumes less power.

BTW "Nerevarine"! :D Good to see another Morrowind fan :D

Thanks for the reply guys, I will buy HD 7770/HD 6850 only and ONLY if it is between 7K and 8K - the cheapest i could find from Gigabyte OR MSI..
However, if i can get GTX 560 for 9k, i will go for it..
Currently gTX 560 from ebay is only 9.5 k after applying coupon

However, that particular PSU's oem is CWT which is the OEM of Corsair.. It kinda gives me a sigh of relief ;)

PS : Morrowind is a gem in the pc gaming industry ;).. its kinda sad that when skyrim launched, many jumped into the bandwagon without giving a crap about oblivion and morrowind
