Yes the prices are very good but don't ever go with Corsair VS Series PSU but go with Antec VP500PC @ 3200 and Deepcool Teseeract SW @ 3300 which is available online in snapdeal & amazon.in respectively.OK.
Check them.
Also ask for AOC i2276VWM Monitor as well from Chamunda Computers.

Corsair VS Series is not bad bad, but it's got crappy capacitors and could thus start to produce lots of ripple, causing hard to diagnose crashes and all sorts of issues.
The new model is VS550(CP-9020050) which uses Aishi and CapXon caps but still has low efficiency than Corsair CX Series. So never go with Corsair VS Series PSU's.

Antec's VP Series tends to cost about the same and is better quality. Also, 500W is enough.

Get a 1 TB HDD.

Not for power hungry PCs i.e. those with dGPU.

OP is going to buy a GTX 960 which is big no for Corsair VS Series unless he wants to go with Antec VP500PC Series.

Hey guys ...
I purchased my new PC

I3 4150
GA B85M D3H
Hyperx fury 4gb
Deepcool tesseracts
Corsair vs550
Asus strix Gtx960

And for HDD I'm using my brother's old 500gb HDD

I also wanna share my experience at lamington road
Primeabgb is a good shop
But u can't get any product at reasonable rate or any discount

MacIT, never go to this shop
Shopkeeper at this shop are very intelligent they'll try to confuse u in your components or configuration
They'll say something like this "your processor is very weak for gaming...try fx series from amd"

He also said me that...
Asus gtx960 has two models in it
One with 2gb dedicated ram and second with only 1gb dedicated vram...

The 1gb model have only 1year warranty @ ₹15500and 2gb model have 3 yrs warranty @₹18900

Then I leaved his shop and went to another shop named 99deals
That's where I purchased all my stuff

I'm not advertising this shop
But this shop was OK...
They gave me all components sealed pack and with original bills
And also warranty of all products of 3yrs

Just giving an advice
If u r buying stuffs at lamington road just be sure u r not
Being fooled.....

Thank you very much guys
Thanks for all your help
I'll post my build pics
Tomorrow

Return Corsair VS550 and get Corsair CX500 instead.

Buy Antec VP500PC @ 3200 online in snapdeal.com
Shopkeeper is ready to exchange
Thanx for advice...

Hey sushant
chamunda is better or 99deals

Please give me address of both.
Go for 99deals its good ... But U should know the price of the product u r buying..... They will try to sell products at higher price
Just get the price of the products in other shops then go there to buy....
Try to bargain and examine the product is not damaged or not sealed or duplicate and ask for original bill with tax and all

All the shops in the market are same they will try to fool u for their benefit

I recommend 99deals because they sale genuine product at reasonable price with original bill
Just go through the things I have said
1: make sure u r not buying it at higher Price
2: make sure its sealed
3: make sure its not damaged
4: make sure that its original product not fake or duplicate
5: and original bill
Last but not the least
6: u should check out for its warranty

Get all the info about ur product online and sometimes online its sold lesser price then lamington road ...
And if the prices are the same go for online shop

That's all I can tell you....
Good luck...

I would like share my experience
With my new PC
Well this configuration was for budget build but the graphic card does not work as I expected
That's because of processor If u guys are thinking of buying gtx960 go for processor which are higher than i5 4460 then only you'll get better performance
Overall my PC works fine
Thinking of buying new ssd in next few months ,my PC feels very slow coz of WD blue HDD windows 10 loads very slow on this hdd
Want to experience windows 10 on ssd

For the last time thank you all of you for being part of this build ..
