config:
Intel pentium dual core e5300 2.6ghz
Gigabyte g41m2esl motherboard
1x2gb ddr2 ram 800mhz
500gb sata hard disk
Current gpu: xfx nvidia 8400gs
Current psu: stock 300w with 14A on 12v

Now, i have bought a new gpu, xfx nvidia gt240. Consequently i plan to upgrade my psu. So pls suggest a good psu priced at Rs. 500-1000 that will be sufficient for my system. Iball and vip will do. But will they be sufficient? I dont mind disconnecting my dvd-rom n floppydrive to conserve power. Pls dont suggest corsair or cooler master unless they are under Rs1000 as it will be out of my budget otherwise.
Thank you.
:)

Its not totally necessary. Most websites allow you to deposit cash in their bank accounts. Do check with websites from Mumbai, esp the ones offering cash on delivery options.

I cant..its a 6 yr old one frm my p4 days..iball i guess..
but it runs pretty cool..
my on load temps are:
core 0: 40c
core 1: 32c
gpu : 53c
so i guess its pretty cool mainly coz i keep my windows closed 2 avoid dust in my room n run a a/c..
