or sud i buy something else?
u can see my rigs config in my sig.i'll be adding a DX10 gpu soon (2 if i plan a crossfire setup).
keep all these factors in mind and plz suggest a good psu.

You're going the aTi way ?
They say that you need a minimum of 450 W PSU for a DX10 card.. however, with crossfire, the requirements will be more.. Me thinks that 600 W should be enough..
Have You researched for other PSUs as well ? if so, whom have you shortlisted ?

I also personally feel that a 600 CM PSU for 3.8 k is a great deal..

Antec is too pricey .. However they are the best in the business... I suggest you hunt down for their pricing at ebay.in .........You'll get a fair idea regarding the prices..

Dont go for Antec.Never kinda liked their parts especially considering their prices here.
Why not contact SMC International in Delhi and ask if any Seventeam models are available in that range ?
