Recommend a PSU · DIGIT-ARC

Need a PSU for this config:

Intel DG33BU

Intel C2Q 6600

3x 1GB Corsair XMS2

Msi 5770 Hawk

500 GB Hdd (Will add another 1TB soon)

Zebronics Bizli Cabby

My last PSU was GlacialStars 600A , a local brand.

I was thinking about getting this one :Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watts PSU @ 4k via Flipkart

Budget 3k.

May extend to 4k if highly necessary.

Seasonic is good. You can have a look at this too:

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK 500 Watts PSU: Psu

Definitely get the Seasonic one if you are totally sure you're gonna have a GPU upgrade in the near future.

But for this config, Corsair CX430V2 @2.5k is fine as well.

Corsair GS600 @ 4k

But, how much juice does my rig need ? Would a ~450W suffice or do I need ~500W ?

EDIT:
I checked out *extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine and *support.asus.com/PowerSupply.aspx?SLanguage=en

The 1st one says 306W and the Second one says 350W. I guess that ~430W should suffice as I don't want to upgrade anything this year. I will just add another HDD.

Get it from here:-

SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Stick with 500W, you never know when you will need the extra juice.

Stick with corsair and get the GS600 like jas mentioned. Should serve you well for future upgrades.

yeah psu is one thing that can be called 'futureproof', get Corsair GS600.
Corsair service is very good too.

Where are you guys getting GS600 for 4k? It's 4.4k in ITWares and 4.7 in Flipkart. And pretty much over Jojo's budget.

smc can be contacted too.

another vote from me to the Corair GS600.

Ok, i'm choosing between Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watts and The Corsair GS600.

Either of these will fit inside the Zebronics bizli, I mean is there any difference in size ?

^^ No size difference buddy. They'll fit. Choose the corsair as you'll get more watts.

If you have a budget something like 4.6k then I will say go for Seasonic S12 II 620 watt psu@4.6k from theitwares.Its bronze certified 80+ psu with 5 years warranty.Efficiency is also better in it.BTW. GS600 has 3 years warranty
Corsair tx650v2~Seasonic S12II 620

SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

you want modular or non modular

^^ is there any modular PSU at 3-4k? i doubt it.

choose from corsair GS series its a VFM .

PSU like Corsair comes with 3 / 5 / 7 years warrenty on diff. models.
invest once in a good smps once & you will use it for years.
the lowest i can suggest is corsair GS 500.
you mayalso visit corsair site, where a utility is there to calculate your power requirement & models available.
Atlist get knowledge how much "Juice" your rig needs then go for any brand you like. if you have bigger budget (6-8K + , go for modular PSU - But it is just optional. Future proof - at this moment :-D

today my local dealer @Lamington road, mumbai quoted me Rs. 3650/- for GS500 & 6500/- For HX650 (modular, info for those who dont know :-D

check it out.

looking at your specs, i think you are gonna upgrade sometime soon, amirite?

in that case, stick with gs600, or get a more powerful psu.

+1 for seasonic for ur budget. its reliable too.

If you want a nice Psu at good price with good serive and support .Get Corsair GS 600.Simple as Pie. ;-)

Seasonic S12II 620W is still better than GS600, no ?

5 years warranty with the Seasonic and 3 yrs with the Gs600.Is Seasonic RMA service satisfactory compared to Corsair's ?

corsair has a good service. seasonic is kinda new in india. tirupati ent. deals with the warranty here . people didnt face any problems with the RMA service. Go For it.

Don't compare GS600 with S12II 620W. GS600 is an medium psu whereas S12II 620W is an high end psu. S12II 620W is the oem model of Corsair TX-650 V2. So go for it.

S12II 620W=TX650 V2>GS600

Going for the Seasonic S12II 620W. I won't need to upgrade the PSU for another 4-5 yrs and if it breaks I can go for RMA.

anyone has any experience with seasonic rma here?

Tirupati enterprise after-sales support is quite good.I had a good expeience with them.

Bought the Seasonic S12II 620W from itwares @ 4.6k.
Thanks for helping me out guys.

^^ Congrats...very nice purchase. That is a beefy PSU and can pull your rig with ease, opening door for future upgrades.

congrats dupe

Waiting eagerly for it to arrive.

^^ thanks for the info. didn't know there are sub5k modular PSU :smile:

Got the SMPS today. Its huge, and has a phetora of cables. Looks like my Zebronics cabby is no match for this. It can hardly contain all the cables. Gonna need a new cabinet.

You need good cabinet like NZXT GAMMA to manage cables in well manner

I could buy the GAMMA but it wouldn't be future proof in my opinion.
I was thinking about these:

1)Corsair Carbide 400r

2)NZXT Phantom

3NZXT Phantom 410

And
Does primeagbg charge for shipping ?

Better buy cabinet from smcinternational.Primeabgb creates lots of problem while sending cabinet.It can take 2-3 months to send to your place.Skud has also faced similar problem from them.So i would say avoid prime atleast for cabinet.
From your list I choice will be NZXT PHANTOM FULL TOWER or you can also consider coolermaster 690II Advanced usb3 version

Thanks for letting me know about primeabgb. I'll order from flipkart.

Yeah I forget about flipkart ....

Nice find man. Silverstone psu's are world famous. I guess this can be recommended here. Lets see if we can find a decent review.

once you check a Carbide, its hard to select anything else even if it cost lot less.

Thanks guys.

you can get phantom 410 from itwares even though its not listed rs 6000
+ rs650

The Corsair 400r arrived today. I transferred everything from the Bijli to the Carbide and **** happenned. The PSU stopped working, Seasonic 620W. I connected a foxin PSU and the mobo's power led lit up and when I connected the Seasonic the power led didn't lit up.
Totally WTF situation. Drat!

A day wasted.

EDIT: Jump Start Test Failed. FFFFFFFFFFFFF!

do you connect the psu wire according to mother board manuals disconnect everything and reconnect one more or do the psu tester test google it

ah, sad. bad piece.

Waited 3 months for a good session of gaming. Now this crap.
Contacted ITW, gonna take 2 weeks in total to receive the RMA-ed piece.

Anyways, please close this thread before I start posting more rants.

^^That's so sad mate. So you send it back or what? You should bear the shipping charges right?
