My Detailed Config is in Signature.

Reason for Update:

Bought GTX 560 Ti. While buying the PSU I didn't thought I will buy such high end card ever so opted for a Modest 450W.

Now My PSU is supporting this config when I have my CPU undervolted.

Currently it is 1.275 V down from 1.4V.

Now I have a Black Edition Phenom and CM 212 EVO so there is more of a urge than need to OC the baby High.

As soon as put the Voltage to 1.4 and Kick it to 3.8 GHz Temps of CPU are under thermal Limits but PSU Starts BEEPING i.e. Overload alarm.

So basically I am at the Very Border of its limits. Also havent stressed 560 Ti to max yet as only game I played on it is CnC 3 so far and that won't even sweat it.

I am looking for a High range W PSU which can support a Single High End Card + Head room for OC of both Card and Proccy.
Never going for a CF or SLI.

Modular ones will be preferred.

Budget - 5.5K odd.

TX 750V2 @5.8K
Add 300/- to your budget and get that. Even a GS600 can power up 560ti, but I would suggest you to get that PSU mentioned by me only for future proofing and you will have no problem in overclocking CPU, gfx card and you can even add one sound card or another dedicated phyx card or even another 560ti to run SLI.

+1 to the Corsair TX 750v2.
Yes the GS600 is well inside the budget but recommend you to get something beefier. as I remember ico saying it once-
"Nothing is truly futureproof in a PC excpet PSU"

But that's not modular :(

The extra cables really clutter my Mid Tower Cab.

I have a option to get a HX 650 (Modular) with for 5.5K is it a good deal? Its 1 yr old and has 6 years of warranty left.

I think its beefy enough for Any Single GFX Config with Any OC Processor.

CF or SLI is not a mandatory requirement for me but I think this one can also take a 560 Ti SLI.

If you're paranoid about cable-management, then get a modular one. 600+ watts is more than enough for your rig OC'd.

Seasonic S12II 620 @5.1k. This is a modular PSU as well.

there is something problem with flipkart naming i guess because This one is also S12II 620 and the one you mentioned is also S12 II 620:confused:
If I am right then it must be M12 II not S12 II.
Arghhhh:banghead:flipkart has gone mad the first and last pics are S12 II 620w non modular psu and the center one belongs to some other psu.( F U flipkart):-x

The one on Flipkart is S12II without a doubt. Forget the pictures. :)
I bought a CM Elite 311 from them. The pictures were those of CM Elite 311 Plus. So no worries.

However, TheItWares has it priced lower. Go for it then.

I guess I will go for the 1 Year Old Used HX650 which is offered at Rs. 5.5 k.

Still 6 Years Warranty left is good enough I guess.

That's SMPS is back in stock - great news. Only 5 available. If you can overlook the warranty part, that's a great SMPS. Drop a mail to SMC for warranty details.

GO is a problem with such heavy items. With double shipping charges, it won't look that good anymore, particularly with unclear warranty.

For sure corsair one.because it has higher efficiency certificate and may be it is newer.btw if i guess it right then seasonic one will be noisier because it has 80mm fan.
