I was going to buy Corsair VX450 from SMC international, but today, i discovered that it wasnt present on the list. so, i m going for FSP Saga II 500W powersupply.

Is it reliable enough to power my system without problems ?

I use HD 5770 as my GPU.

i too was looking for a psu, fsp saga2 350W.
many people recommend it, and its even on the "build your rig" thread.

but go for corsair vx450. its great value for money. dont go for the 450W rating, corsair people have UNDERATED it. i read someone's post that it can even give peak output of ~600W.

good luck.

FSP Saga ii 500 can power even a HD6850(w/o any OCing)...

Regarding VX450, in test they were able to pull 570 W at 48º C... For our use it can deliver upto 500W

^^ Manju, FSP Saga II 500W will handle even a HD6850, but not at ease. If other components are not power hungry, it can. In OP's case, it can handle his whole rig without any hiccup but if you have Some i7+6850, can u recommend it?

@OP

Go for FSP Saga II 500W. It is reliable and can power your rig at ease.

how can you say that? that psu is enough for 6870 too for a entry-mid system.

Swimming, eh??
@jaz, i am gonna buy sapphire 6870 with fps saga II 500, and also am certainly gonna overclock..
My current rig is phenom II X4 955 BE @ 3.6 & 4 Gbs of ram with 3-4 hard drives.
So will saga suffice or should i go with corsair 450.

Yup, VX-450 will be the ultimate choice.
But also get hands on TacensSupero 500W/600W for the same price.
I heard that its even better than VX-450 for its price.

Yes, i can if there is no OCing..

@OP, Get CX400 or FSP Saga II 500W... To be future proof get VX450...
CX430 has poor build quality and lower current in +12v rail than CX400, also CX430 is not 80+ certified.....

Better to get SAGAII 500W than CX-430. If CX-400 is avaialble then go for it, its better than CX-430.

don't overclock & you are fine. why waste 3.5k more just to get little extra performance? :|
