TDP-> proccy = 77 W
Graphics card = 63 W
Approximate power draw from other components = 80-90W

Total = 230 W

Since the 6670 doesn't need extra power from PCIe cables, the amperage from 12V rails won't matter as much. So technically 280 W should be ample. But see, that's where the problem of any local generic PSU lie. They never deliver the Wattage they promise and they use really bad components which will fry your other components. Proceed at own risk

Invest and get a Corsair CX430 or atleast a VS450(2.5k) or else risk frying your Motherboard. This is what everyone is gonna tell you to get.

Im not really sure but there is this PSU called the Antec Basiq 300P. I wasnt able to find any reviews of it so I assume its an India only PSU. Although I DID find reviews for the Antec 350P and they said it was a good PSU, although I doubt if this (300p) PSU will be manufactured by the same company(Corsir, Antec etc rarely manufacture their own PSUs, they get it made from 3rd party manufacturers and brand it with their name)

Corsair's and Antec's top line models are made by Seasonic. Corsair's lower end (VS series and probably CX too) is made by some Taiwanese manufacturer

VS 350 is good enough, although id suggest going for a CX430v2 or VS450 for future upgrades..
PS: both VS and CX series are made by ChannelWell (CWT) and use CapXon capacitors ..

Alternately, you may go for the antec

Sorry for replying late,and ya you guys are right,I"m gonna buy a 430 watt psu and then put that hd 6670 on my pc,.

Actually ANTEC BP300 wll do just fine for your current configuration but will restric any future upgrade.

TheLetterD, I think you didn't search properly about that BP300 PSU and came to the wrong conclusion about it, being an Asian market only PSU. It is a very good PSU and was avaialble around $50 during its launch and now it is around $40.

Antec BP 300 is the only PSU you should buy. It is a good PSU, you can find some reviews in Tomshardware.

Looked it up and the first page of Google only gave results about it being available in India, no reviews, no nothing. Not on the UK or USA antec website either, OR newegg so I assumed it was Asia only. My bad, but still can anyone link me up a review? I was planning to buy it for an old spare Core 2 Duo rig at my home too! :/
