My system configurations are-

CPU - Intel Pentium G2020
RAM - 6GB DDR3 Dual channel RAM 1333mhz
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2
Monitor - Dell IN1930 18.5 inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor
HDD - Seagate 500GB SATA & 160GB SATA
Graphics Card - Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6750 2gb DDR3
LG DVD ROM

My budget is strictly around ~2.8k not more than that. My graphics card requires 450watt PSU with 6-pin power connector. My old iball power supply is insufficient to handle it.
I will buy it locally by visiting Lamington Road or online through flipkart.
I'm confused in between Cooler Master Thunder 450W, Corsair VS450 450 Watt and Corsair SMPS CX430.

Antec VP450 -2600. Don't ever go for Coolermaster.

The newer units from CM are Seasonic and Enhance OEMs btw.

Only the V series is by Seasonic. The others are Enhance, and atleast one of them is a total stop gap arrangement - go take a look at the soldering/PCB/Inner works on this.

Code:

Also, they cheated of sorts by giving a rifle bearing fan when it says HDB Bearing on the box. Like the previous person said, I would still be *very* careful about buying a CM power supply. Not that the right models aren't good. The Silent Pro Gold Series and V series are superb. Stay away from their low end stuff though.

PS I don't work for CM *or* Antec. Just passing the information.

The good ones from CM are highly overpriced.
