Post your full config. Corsair cx500v2 @Rs.3500 will probably fit you.

Remember that PSU and cabinet are the ones you can retain for long time compared to other components in your PC. So if you are planning to upgrade your pc, purchase a good consair PSU now and you wont regret it.

And if u are a regular gamer, I dont think you will keep that GC for long as its an extinct one already. :) so scope for upgrade is on the cards. Same goes with other components too.

I would say go nothing less than Corsair Tx 650v2

CX430V2 is more than enough for your config, or get 500VX2 for little more headroom.

Before suggesting any specific PSU, I would like to know your max budget for PSU.

Get Corsair GS600 @4.6K
Best choice at your budget. ;)
Totally future-proof for mid-end upgrades.

Suggested because he have good budget.
Again, getting a good PSU is not bad as components like PSU & Chassis is considered to be a long term investment. They usually lasts for 2-3 builds.
