Hi All,
My existing PSU Corsair VX 450 has become faulty and since warranty period is over and same model is not available, i need suggestion for a replacement. Current configuration attached. I would prefer to buy online and require a model with 3 to 5 years warranty.

Proc:C2D E6550
Mobo: P5G41T-M LX
RAM: DDR2 4GB
Graphics:MSI R7750
Monitor: Dell 1920 Se
Case:NZXT-Gamma

Can you confirm what is the best price for seasonic online?. In FK it is available on 5050/- with only 3 year warranty. Also, is it the best performer in that category. Never used this brand. Hence the question

Seasonic is the OEM manufacturer of Corsair PSU's. Corsair RM450 uses Taiwanese capacitors where as Seasonic uses Japanese capacitors which give long life.

Corsair RM450 is costly compared to Seasonic S12II Series which gives 5 Year warranty.
Corsair on the other hand gives excellent service in India.

Seasonic looks good. However, one last thought. My current PC configuration is old. In future, if i go for an upgrade, will the seasonic 520W be enough, since it comes with a 5 year warranty and i have to use it for atleast 4 years.

Can someone advice please???

if you are planning to upgrade then go with S12II 520W or else even Antec VP450p will suffice ;)
