for 1 minute, probably 600va may do. but i dont really know.
5.3k for that board is still a good price. why to choose an h81 instead of b85?
if you buy cheapest , you will end up spending twice. so no to a cheap ups. why do you wanna buy a separate ups for router?

Separate UPS - because the router is in living room, far from the reach of my PC.
Anyway, that won't be needed now since I'm getting a personal connection. (the other one we used to share between the 3 of us)

I've ordered the B85M-D3H from snapdeal again since the price went down to 5202. Also, my antec vp550 has been shipped.

I'll go get the UPS. how much should an 800VA APC cost in the market(nehru place)? I can see it on ebay for 4.2k so should be lower locally. Right? An 800VA should be able to power an i5-4570+8GB RAM+R9 270X+4 system Fans+Monitor+Speakers+Router. Right?

Monitor again, I'll be picking up the AOC i2269vwm now. Any other suggestions/changes?

800va should be enough. it should be available for 4k or so.

Hello my Antec PSU arrived. Unfortunately, it is the VP550P v2 :( I can see a total output of 444W on the dual 12v rails (30A) each. This is pretty low compared to the VP550P v1 which had 540W on the rail. Can this power a card like the GTX 780 or R9 290 in the future?

I know someone who uses a VS550 powering a GTX770 along with an overclocked 4670k.

Can I ask Snapdeal for a replacement since they mentioned vp550p only? no v2 was mentioned. :-/

I did and they haven't replied yet. Asked snapdeal about it. They've arranged for a reverse pickup. :)

here is the reply i got from antec upon contacting them.
Yes,both spec are correct.
But VP550P(230V model) has been phased out, the current model is VP550P V2,the 12V combined output is 444W. The reason why they have a different output wattage when 12V1 and 12V2 is combined is because of the capacitors that's inside the unit. The Japanese caps ha the 444Watts when 12V1 and 12V2 are combined and these are the heavy duty caps. The other model that can generate a 540 watts uses a Taiwan brand caps, these are mid ranged caps. The new version is using the Heavy Duty Japanese Capacitors and they last longer compared to the Taiwan brand

Still doesn't solve my purpose though. A 444W output is only good enough for this build. If I upgrade my graphics card again, I'll need to change the PSU again. :-/
PS - I read this reply late and Snapdeal has already taken it back from me yesterday evening :(

they are issuing a refund instead of a replacement :-/ Now what do I do? The prices have gone up yet again. Is there an alternative PSU you would suggest? Also, a 1TB WD Blue wasn't available in Nehru Place yesterday. Will have to check again this week and I couldn't find one shop that has the Corsair Spec line of cabinets.


PS - I bought the AOC I2269VWM. One hell of a monitor!! :D My main concern has been addressed. No ghosting whatsoever. The package had a couple of HDMI cables, a VGA cable and a mobile MHL cable. Awesome stuff! Thanks for mentioning this to me. The price has gone down as well. Got it for 9550 from C2C whereas all others were selling it for a lot more.

I don't like the looks of Antec GX700. How is the Cooler Master N400 instead? Also, between the Corsair Carbide 200R, Corsair Spec 03, CM N400 and CM K281, which would be more VFM and is worth the price?

200r is not good for price. fetch a little more to get a carbide 300r!

What would be the cheapest price for this online?
Also, I'm not buying the VP550P now. Is the Corsair VS550 okay for now? I could change it in a couple of years but is it okay for now? Or should I straight-away buy the Seasonic M12ii-520W?

What would be the lowest price for the Seasonic M12II?

Stay away I repeat stay away from VS series. Get the Seasonic if you can else at least antec VP

Okay how is the M12II? is it as good as the S12 from Seasonic? Also, what should be the price for both of these?

I was considering it over the S12II because it is semi modular and would help with cable management. I would be building it myself for the first time :)

Also, where did you but the NZXT Phantom 410 from? Can't find it in stock anywhere online
