last psu burned my mb...need a new one

BMG ftw!!
The problem is not created by Seasonic, but their importer Tirupathi.
May be Seasonic will get another importer in future, but untill then, avoid the uncertainty.

Bad choice. Rarely found in India. It is OEM brand of FSP. Avoid it.
was preparing for exams for the past few days so still havent bought the psu
so from what i've read so far my options are cx500v2,gs500,and gs 600...i was in nehru place a few days ago and every shopkeeper was asking the psu prices over the phone like he was a middlemen..i would be glad if someone could tell me some nice psu retailers in nehru place and possible prices for the above mentioned psu's...thank you all for your help.

You think that changing to a good power supply will solve a problem created by the old supply? Once something is damaged because of a substandard psu will not magically fix itself if you switch it to a proper power supply. Even if you could have got a gpu in its place, do you really want to gamble with your investment by making things worse- after having a good experience? That's why its always best to have a good enough psu from the start- period. You're paying for something that supplies clean DC power and protects your system to a certain extent. Dude, you burned your motherboard twice and you still don't get it??
Can't help further since you haven't said what's wrong with your system. And this time, don't forget to mention whatever you've done so far.

one night i was using my pc and it suddently turned off and the power led started blinking after that it never started not even the fans...so i rma'd the motherboard and tried starting my pc...it started but after 15 minutes the same thing happened so i again rma'd the mobo also baught a decent power supply for future safety..now i assembled my pc it booted up but only for 2 minutes...can't figure out what the problem is.any help would be much appreciated thank you

^^ Honestly you really need to re-frame your sentence. Forget for now what happened that night and say what's happening now.
Did you do a CMOS reset? Keep that 4 pin ATX pin connected on the motherboard at all times. What are the memory kit that you're using? Have you seated the heatsink properly (I would do it again as patiently as possible- also make sure the pins are not damaged- and/or proper application of thermal paste)? Reseat memory stick properly or use the other DIMM slots on the motherboard?
You'll need to do couple of things which will require another system. Google and download memtest86, there should be a readme file on how to make it as a bootable disk in a flash drive. Follow the instructions and boot using hat drive, run memtest for about 4-6 hours on your system. If it shuts down, there's a problem with the memory- possibly either the ram or the slot- or worse case scenario- both. If it does and/or doesn't, connect your hard drive in another system as a secondary drive, google and download HDTune and run an error scan. If it shows any bad blocks, RMA the drive. Do both and let me know. Make sure you reset CMOS and check the processor, reseat them again properly and keep the memory stick(s) connected on the other coloured slot.
If you can't run memtest in the first place, swap the rams with another slots on the board. If that doesn't work, try with 1 ram at a time. You'll have to take the headache of doing all these steps in a proper flow to narrowing down the issue(s). Make sure you have the time and patience to do. Use this as an opportunity to learn one thing: can't afford a decent enough psu, don't buy a pc.

well...lets put down the topic of psu..so i tried 3 different rams in different slots and the pc is not starting now..all the rams are working fine(i've checked) and because the pc booted up a few hours ago i take it that the slots are fine too..the psu is brand new..connected the hard disk to a friends pc turns out to be working fine so now its either the mobo or the processor..when processor is not connected the mobo seems to work so i think there is something wrong with the processor or heatsink..:/
the processor or heatsink doesn't get too hot or even hot so why is the pc not booting up..have tried reseating them twice..but nothing the psu fan spins for just a second and then stops..its so irritating..any other ideas!!!!

^^ I think your cpu is damaged or else the mobo has some issue ( with vrms may be ) hence it's not able to provide power properly to the hexa core cpu or all of the ram slots of the mobo is damaged ?? - if possible take the cpu to the RMA center and tell those guys to test the cpu+mobo in front of you or else test the cpu on a friend's place - another reason could be the cpu is overheating due to improper contact between cu and the heatsink - use some proper TiM.
overheating takes some time right...but in my case the psu light glows for just a fraction of second and then turns off..with 24 pin plug connected the psu runs...with rams connected the pau runs but as soon as i connect the 4pin pcie plug the psu starts and within a second stops...after that even if i remove the 4 pin pcie plug the mobo doesn't start for atleast 15 minutes...
