That's not at all right. If they were bad why would many overclockers & enthusiast PC users use them anyway. I'm myself an AMD user & I'm not saying AMD is good because I use it but because I have even used Intel earlier on. AMD provides great value for money when compared to an Intel counterpart. In your budget settle for an AMD system itself.

Corsair vx450is available but NZXT isn't. if you want the NZXT cabby, you'll have to order it from Mumbai from primabgb or itwares!
Thanks for ur suggestion.

a costlier alternate to Corsair VX450W is CoolerMaster GX550W. not so good but the price is nice one. but try Corsair first.

forget NZXT. theres many better choice available.

Cooler Master Elite series or Thermalright. many don't like the Gamma. Gamma/M59 is a personal favorite of mine but many show dissatisfaction over its peculiar design.

don't go by their site. its not updated.

in short, Elites sucks.

Thermalright Wing. i think theres 2 model priced at around 2.5k. a better alternate to NZXT Gamma without opting for CM Elites.

the most cheapest one. seen in Lynx. SMC told they can arrange one for me if i need. but went for NZXT from IT wares instead.

don't trust Lynx, its got really bad reputation!

even the OP can buy the Gamma from ITWares only then!!!
