Hi,

I need a new power supply for my new machine (3000+, 512MB RAM, 6800GS). From which brand I should buy and what are the prices? My budget is 1500 to 2000. I am especially looking for a 400W PSU.

Waiting for your early replies.

Buy a POWERSAFE/COOLERMASTER 400/450W smps. Really hard to find good branded smps in KOLKATA. Powersafe 400W may cost around 1200-1400.

Digitized>> I went for a KPL Powersafe 500 w SMPS!
I have just built a similar config as urself with 3500+
....maybe 500W PSU not needed fully for now,but just used that.....in case of future SLI option.

hence my opinion,u can also use a similar PSU!

@Techguru: How much did your 500W SMPS cost?

As far as I can understand, the Powersafe ones will be my best bet. But availability maybe an issue here. Let's see...

Go far the Vantec ION2 460W model. It provides 30A on the 12v rail which is criteria for deciding which SMPS to buy!

@ Digitized : I took a KPL VIP Gaming case G300 along with a KPL Powersafe 500 w SMPS for Rs. 5,300
The Game case cost abt Rs. 3,000,so rest for the PSU!
I dont know, maybe the item> priced a bit on the higher side,HERE!!!
