well, u dnt need much power for a 8600GT. 400W is more than enough. n is the config listed below urs? if yes the, the 380W will do, but gor a reliable brand. Antec, Coolermaster, or u have sum local brands that are trustable like powersafe etc.

Cooler Master if you can afford then its the best. It has high efficiency.
Other than that, people here have used zebronics and they have given positive reviews.

Good choice. 8800 would not have worked with a 380W PSU.

I got Mine for Rs. 450 only. But not much of a known brand. "Odissy" something. Its working fine for my PC. [Refer Sig]

Nehru Place price was Rs. 3600 when I last inquired about 1.5 months ago. Right now, it should be +/- 500. So considering that other brands are not available at your place very easily, I think 4K is OK.
