My rig:

Intel i5 2400 (95W)
4GB RAM
Seagate HDD 500GB
DVD ROM
GPU (will be adding soon 7770 / 77790 ~100W)

I have a VIP PSU right now. I am thinking of upgrading to:

Corsair CX430V2
Antec VP450P
Seasonic SS400BT
Corsair VP450
Seasonic S12II 430

I know the Cooler Master Extreme Power / Thunder are bad PSU's and their GX Series is just about okay.

The seasonic s12II 430 is the best psu listed, but it is 3.5k +

I hear that the cx430v2 has a high RMA rate, but is a solid psu and has better caps than the VS 450

The VP450P from Antec has an active PFC, but lacks a MOV.

I will be buying online. Please suggest and give me links :cool:

Which one to buy?

Corsair Cx430v2 and Antec VP450P are both good. Get the one whose service center is near to you place.

I read a few reviews of the VP450P. Even the vP350P does not have one. Delta (the OEM) has stopped using MOV's in its entry level designs.

However, both the 350 and 450 seem to be good performers.
How is the after sales service of antec, corsair and seasonic?

You can go with Corsair CX430V2. Even I got mine when the failure rate was at it's peak. Flipkart is very generous in replacing faulty units. It's working absolutely fine till date.

yeah vp450 has been reviewed as it is released globally. vp450p is mainly intended for asian market and it is difficult to find a quality review.
the only difference in vp450 and vp450p is the active pfc afaik. everything else should be same.

even in youtube, it is difficult have videos of that product
