Which PSU should I buy ???....

[The Sorcerer]

MODEL RS-550-ACAA-A1 cm real power 550w is made by abacel and its in par with vx550w. cm 550w comes with 5 year warranty. Only reason antec 650w is cheaper is because it has 3 years warranty and has single layer PCB. I wouldn't worry about it much though. Seasonic builts are generally really good manufacturers when it comes to power supplies.

One more vote for Corsair

Am happy with my Corsair TX 750 and it seems I shall be happy for another 3 to 4 years.So it is futureproof. I don't understand why one will buy a psu for around 5000 Rs. with keeping a headache that he may need another in 2 years while he can spend a little more to keep off the headache and make his pc feel some free space in power supply at present.

Concerning budget I think buying a Corsair HX 620 will be a good choice in GTX 280, i7 set up.

Because not every one is so rich like bill gates or Mukesh ambani and difference of 3k is not little more at least for me and with Antec-EA 650 I think enough headroom spare to be future proof for me along with very good VFM as The Sorcerer passed it as a worthy product against corsair VX 550.

I shall not comment against The Sorcerer as he is the best in this business. Your requirements are contradictory.U are going to set a high end pc and at that point u can afford i7 and gtx 280 easily but u can't afford a 2 to 3k price increase for the health of your lovely precious system.

Antec is a good choice of course but personally I will vote for any Corsair psu. And I suggest u go for VX 550 if u stick to ur budget, or else think about HX 620.

 

[toofan]

@compaddict you should go for tangan one as it is cheap and the difference is only due to warranty. look for confirmation form soccessor

Are yaar 5000 or 8000 mein kya anter hai. Mere liye to dono hi mahenge hain. Both are costly and if you have to choose, then chose the cheap among the costlier. Simple funda.

Dude as I wrote earlier my next upgrade is 6 to 8 months away from now and by then
i7 and gtx 280/ATI4870 or anything else should be lot more affordable.

My approach for upgrades is simple upgrade when desired products comes in VFM tertiaries and when one have got a product at reasonable price he or she can easily get rid of it when reqired with low loses and good resale value and upgrade to next level and I'm not interested in "I'm the first with this product" race.

True- but one of the 2 OEMs for corsair is seasonic and channelwell makes psu for corsair seemingly based on seasonic designs. As of now, seasonic/abacel/ high end seventeam/channelwell/ certain topower OEMS are good. Recently tirupathi hiked the price which I say its wrong. tx750 when I bought was 6.8k inclusive taxes at prime abgb. Now its 8k. Corsair vx450 was as low as 3.2k all inclusive- now its 3.9k- 4.2k. When such situations are happenning No choice- antec EA 650 is a value for money product even in international market. For non oced i7 system- I dont see why wouldnt a vx550~tx 650~ea 650~cm rp 550w will suffice?

 

[surinder]

Yes that's the point I'm trying to put Like Corsair TX 750W is for 90$ on abroad like on Tigerdirect if similar kind of prices offered here in India one can go for corsair's products eyes closed but they are charging us almost 8K for this one here daylight robbery. Those guys are charging us huge premium across the range in corsair for its popularity so why shouldn't we take headache to search other deserving options and give tirupathi guys chance to relax themselves a bit and of course give them a reason to think again about there pricing policy.

On the other hand PSU's like Antec EA-650 which has very good specs and great reviews on the net priced same here as in the International market which is very sweat so good VFM is there I think.

 

[The Sorcerer]

I bought my tx750 for 6.9k-7k last year at june-july. The prices were all reasonable and in par with international standard untill TAG stop being distributor for corsair psu and tirupathi got a rare chance to monopolise it. They smartly increased the price by implementing cx400 in between. That's why its always best not to see prices after you buy the product. As of now real power 550w and antec 650w are good vfm.

 

[surinder]

Totally agreed and finally I'm going with Antec-EA 650. Although I love to go with Corsair VX550 but Antec-EA 650 offers me one grand favor plus 100w more continues power from Corsair VX550 but with two years lesser warranty ya I can live with this.

 

[surinder]

Price of CORSAIR TX 650w on buygamingstuff.com is given RS 6020+145 shipping=RS 6165/- in total I booked one PSU for myself.

I want to know although other PSU's prices are same as elsewhere how could they manage to offer such prices as TX 650w for RS 6020/-& HX 620w for RS 6636/- including vat I think because they made my order's amount as given above. Here is the link.

*buygamingstuff.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16_32

Are the prices of corsair full range is going to fall that way and these guys are with fresh rates for only these two products and we can have CORSAIR VX 550w for 4.8k or so very soon in India in that case I shall go for VX 550w.

 

[The Sorcerer]

I have heard that distribution for corsair power supply is changed but not too sure about it. Corsair's warranty support is being centralised to corsair have their own service place cropping up soon corsair india allready started an All India toll free support.

 

[surinder]

Update:-
These prices are fake I even ordered one Corsair TX 650w online on their site on Sunday at 6020/-(given price on that day) today afternoon I received a phone call regarding they are unable to proses my order due to lack of stock when I ordered my PSU they had 50 pieces in the stock and guess what they changed the price of this product from 6020/- to 6950/- today on there site and HX 650w which is still at 6636/- refuse to open on there site.

My order is still intact online can I force them some how legally to process it?

One thing is sure it is a cheap attraction caching stunt by them.

 

[toofan]

Now leave Crosair and go for Cooler Master.

 

[The Sorcerer]

Well you should be buying from a well establish online shop- typically the ones who have a shop. Some of these online shops run their business from home- reality is that they buy it from the sub dealers. Better off buying from shops like primeabgb.com or lynx-india.com

 

[Ronnie11]

hey guys i have a query here as well....i wanted to know the review of any person here who has used a corsair vx550...will it be compatible with my system??I also plan to buy a ups now...will that affect it by anyway??

My confi is
m2a vmhdmi
amd x2 4800
250gb hdd
500gb hdd(currently gone for replacement)
2gb ddr2

 

[The Sorcerer]

^^ Keeping the current configuration in mind, even a vx450/cx400 is enough for you. VX550 would be an overkill in you case. VX450 powers upto 650w on 80% load and can power up 4870 ddr5 gfx card without any OCs.

[The Sorcerer]

Depends on which graphic card?
