No i am planning to buy soon.... kindly suggest me
@Azaad_shri
Dude are you totally out of your mind?
how did you arrive at that conclusion that the op needs vx550
@ayush_ani
have you already bought the configuration?
or are you planning to buy soon?
i am asking because your config is not at all optimized!!
your config is all BLING!!BLING!! no BANG!!
but if you want to stick with this config,
i guess the corsair CX400 or VX450 will do the job famously!
No i am planning to buy soon.... kindly suggest me

rajan, which browser you use? any help for Chrome?
ads are ok. but those bling bling or animated ads really flashes in ones eyes. hard to endure it for long.
sourav, i wasn't referring to you buddy. just the word "dude" brings such a feeling.

See, opera users have it easy, just block the ads manually.
@op, if you are going to buy the PC then forget about that config. State your budget and usage (like gaming, surfing, watching movies, encoding, animation, office work or whatever) and we will help you out build a decent config

Seems like funkysourav sir loves the VX450 a lot but maybe only the VX450.
He can run anything on it- beautifully, famously and what not other lovely adjectives.
On an another forum, he was almost ready to kill me for suggesting a VX550 to someone who was undecided between buying a 5770 or GTX460.
rajan sir- it's usually better and always safer to get something that gives us a little more than something that just makes the cut. Don't you think so.
Ayush sir- At stock settings, even a CX400 should be able to run that config- but i would put that as minimum requirement for someone very tight on funds.
A good buy will be a VX450 and the minimum i would have used for the exact config you gave.
A VX550, especially if you are sure of upgrading to a good graphics card.
And before i forget, do you intend to game on that computer?
Coz if yes, i guess everyone here will suggest you get something better than the 5450 you are planning to get.

re: SMPS + Graphic card query
@anish
sorry for the commotion buddy
now considering your budget!!
1)
do you already own one?
because 20" is quite the standard nowadays
and there isn't much difference in price between 20" widescreen and 16" ones
16" displays cost around 5.7k and 20" cost 6.5k
but generally the performance of 20" ones are much better
i.e better viewing angles crisper colours and such
16" ones are already at "end of life"
2)
getting a costly hdd would constrict your budget for gaming hardware
i would suggest get a 500GB HDD@2k for now and add a 1tb later when prices fall!
now for the rest
Amd Athlon II X3 435 @3.5k (you can go for quad core X4 630 for 4.5k)
Gigabyte 785GMT US2H @4.7k (wanted to suggest Biostar TA-785GMT@3.7k, sadly it is unavailable)
Corsair Value Select 2x2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 5k
Cooler Master Elite 310 @ 1.5k (without side panel)(get 2x120 mm fans@200 each if you can)
Corsair CX400 @2.7k (you can get VX450@4k if you can afford it)
Powercolor HD5770 @9k (sadly MSI hawk is unavailable, GTX 460 would overshoot your budget)
Samsung B2030 @ 6.6k Dell S2009W if you can get hold of one)
Seagate 500Gb 7200.12@2k(dont go for WD)
Logitech Internet Pro Keyboard Mouse combo@0.7k
APC 650 VA UPS@2.9k
now the total stands at
give me a minute
38.6k at base config
i haven't included speakers
you can get Creative SBS A300 for 1.3k or any other that suits your needs

re: SMPS + Graphic card query
I would advice to get the quad-core.
Also get Dell or BenQ monitor.
CX400 may not be available, in that case FSP Saga II 500W
Nothing's wrong with WD either, but go for seagate for the longer warranty. I'd advice to get 1TB if you can afford, more VFM
If you can find, get Biostar TA785G3 HD @~4k, will save some money. US2H should cost 4.5k
Better get Altec Lansing BXR1221 if you want speakers. sound quality is better than SBS A300 (I own SBS A300)
Enquire in the market about the exact prices and post here before you buy. Some components may not be available, so don't select alternatives based on retailer's suggestion, discuss it in the forum.

Easy Frank, easy.
Why bring up other forums. We all know what is happening, and where it is happening. Keep it simple and pain-free. Hope you got my point.

Re: SMPS + Graphic card query
yeah, I also don't find the design very nice, but this is one of the cheapest good performing 2.1 set. It is available @850-900 at places. So it's a matter of personal choice.
few months back digit was giving it free with a 3 year subscription.
