What PSU should I buy for this configuration ??

[avi1708]

intel core2duo e6540
msi geforce 8800gt 512mb oc
motherboard(something under about Rs.3000)
2x sata2 hdd
1 optical(dvd) drive
17" crt monitor
3.1ch speakers,peripherals

:confused: do i even need to buy a sperate psu or should i just go for stuff that comes inegrated with most cabinets, like my current frontech smps cabinet(i dont know what type of psu they come with). after all i'm not building something top-end (or even an sli machine):) .

better for Cm 400watts smps... i think that will serve the purpose

Bundled psu's are cheap and so is their performance. I would suggest you go with Corsair VX450W since you are planning to run 8800GT.
BTW, what's your budget for the PSU?

[realdan]

corsair hx-620 ...or coolermaster extreme power 600W around INR3000 which is almost half the price of the corsair.

i have a similar question.......so i'll post it here itself

i want to buy a high end gaming rig, with foll config, whats the wattage required?

xfx nforce 780i
intel q9450
xfx geforce 9800gtx (will SLI in the future)
4GB DDR2 800Mhz
seagate sata2 500GB (will add more in the future)
liteon dvdrw

Corsair HX-620 or maybe TX-750

Antec Quattro 850W (if u cant afford higher wattage one for now)
Antec Quattro 1000W
CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 1000

Antec Quattro 1000W
CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 1000
i think i'll stick to coolermaster. but is 1000W really essential? or 850W enough? because there's a 4k difference in their prices.

CM realpower pro:
850W - 11k
1000W - 15k.

Also i remember reading that the PSU should have 15% higher capacity that actually reqd by the components, to suffice under load conditions......

BTW - i am not able to find any websites with wattage calculators (atleast those which are up to date). those which i found were a couple yrs old. can anyone suggest one?:confused:

Corsair HX-620 or maybe TX-750thanks for the help.

EDIT: ok after searching again, i stumbled upon this site(up-to-date): http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

my basic config requires ~622W [with 15% extra =>715W]
SLI config requires ~780 [with 15% extra => 900W]

[ajayashish]

i will suggest go for corsair which is also good for power consumtion... go for HX620

Else go for this http://www.primeabgb.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=207&category_id=28&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28

It's costly but you will be tension free.

@confused

i think it might be feasible for you to go for 1000W given the components that you wanted to use
