I have the CM 600 extreme what's the max gfx card it can power up with Phenom II x4 955 (according to hardware Secrets drawing upto 500W is safe from this PSU) ?

I use a 19" DELL @1366x768

^^ Most of them don't even know that CM extreme series have efficiency/noise/ripple problems. Its only after buying & using it, they start understanding the problems and come here.

You can't really do anything. India is the market to exploit because of too many uninformed people.

try Corsair GS600 it much more better and stable then the CM extreme series power supply a 5670 DDR5 cost u around 4k to 4.5k in mumbai frankly speaking go for a 6770 which costs 6.3k it can even run most games at 1080p

a CX430 V2 2.2k should do ok or a FSP 500 watts will cost 2.4k is a minimum

I am refering to this guy specifically. He's been blindly advising people in Chip forums to go for 'branded power supplies'. He's been advising people to buy VX450s even though I've said many times that VX450 has gone really REALLY bad.
