I am planning to buy a basic system using Intel G3xx series processors and H81 motherboard. I am yet to finalise a PSU and HDD.
Which PSU would you guys suggest under 3,000-4,000 rupees having a good replacement warranty? Or should I go with a generic PSU?

Should I go with 1 TB WD Blue or Black or Purple if reliability is of utmost importance? How is WD's warranty?

Also, is Gigabyte a good choice for motherboard or should I go with Asus in terms of warranty. I am mostly getting Gigabyte H81 motherboards here in my town.

I live in a small town in Assam.

Thanks

Questionnaire for what?
I am not asking for a PC configuration.

You can't never say how reliable a HDD will be unless there's some manufacturing defect with a particular model / batch = WD Blue / Black / Purple - they are pretty much same but Black is the one you should go for if budget is not not an issue for it's 5 years warranty and improved features for a tad bit better performance.

Gigabyte is good.

How is Antec's after sales service? Who handles it and how long does it take?
