Need suggestion about power supply.

I am going to settle with the following components in a few days. My budget would be 20k for all.

1.Intel Core i3 2100 Processor
2.AMD Radeon HD6850 Graphics.
3.H61 Motherboard [Any cheap brand]
4.4GB Corsair Value RAM.

Total comes to around 18k..

I need your inputs for a good PSU for this config. I was thinking of getting the Corsair CX430 V2.. is it enough to power the 6850 under load?

It is enough. But you can also go for FSP Saga II 500w although they give only 1 year warranty and that too repairing.

Well if you say so, then I'll settle with that. Thanks

^^ 2yr warranty

as you can't OC the processor just GPU, CX430W V2 is sufficient.

I won't be OCing the GPU unless absolutely necessary

omg.....yours system config is very similar to mine......and yes CX 430V2 can easily handle 6850.........

btw i'm using Sapphire 6850 core clock@ 820Mhz and Memory clock @ 1100MHz with FSP SAGA 500W without any power or temperature issues.......and one more thing my E5200 @ 2.9GHz is not acting as a bottleneck...i have played BF3,Crysis 2,Batman Arkham Asylum at Ultra Settings without any slutter issues...
