Thanks very much. Got a question though: If I picked the CX500, will I able to upgrade to a higher end video card at some point in the future?

Yes. It should allow you to do casual OCing.

But I think your best buy would be investing 500 more and buying
1) Corsair VX550 ~ 4.5 k
2) Cooler master 431 / NZXT source 210 ~ 3k

Corsair Corsair Corsair...
Does anybody has answer what if it gets problem? Is there proper service center in India or I need to send the unit outside of country? How much time they take in resolving the issue? BTW I just came to know that they have given their customer support to Kaizen Infoserve Pvt Ltd!!! Didn't they find some good comp for it? It doesn't have any link for raising RMA for the products? Is that means everything will be solved over call only?
Corsair may be best in its quality but I really doubt its Corsair service that also matters.
