I really think you pass this off.You have a killer setup there and i think investing in a good PSU makes sense keeping in mind your hardware's safety.Why not go for Seventeam 500W which is available in Mumbai as well as Delhi. ;)

Get Powersafe 500Watt. THe golden coloured one made by L&C.It has a normal 80mm fan outside blowing air inside the PSU.

I have that in my ***** Rig and works like a charm. I donno if its available there.Its very good.It also has native SATA power cables and is EPS ready :)
I got mine for 2250/- only

@john the ultimate do u know any place where i cud get powercolor psu?

@assasin
No idea about powercolor but VIP "powersafe" shud be available. Don't know about other shop dealing with CM products. You can look for CORSAIR HX
520W PSU @ Trirupathi Enterprises...........do check it out.......see if it comes within your budget. Other than that CM eXtreme Power is your best bet.

See more details of the CORSAIR PSU over here *www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/hx_power_supply.html

I dont think corsair 500w psu is available in kolkata, i had called them last week they said they have 620w psu costing rs 7200+ ,
@Assasin :
I have exactly same problem with zeb 500w platinum psu, now they r saying that it is not repairable, so they advised me to take he refund!!!
