Get a FSP Saga II 500W @ 2.7k, to make room for future upgrade. IMO, Getting all the parts in one shop, thats not a good idea. While i purchased my rig here in Chennai, i bought parts separately from many shops. Coz one got the good deal for mobo, other one for proccy. This way you get a total good deal.

But, if you get a good deal for all @ one shop, you're damn lucky man.

Logitech KB/Mouse @ 900 bucks

Its just a 500 bucks more for 400W and you're good to go. Even if you buy a 5670, you need a 400W PSU at least.

Only check for bills, warranty, package, and regd mobo, i hope the revision is clearly written in box. So no need to worry about that.

Also check for service centres nearest to you, so that its better for you in case of RMA. Go for itwares or Prime ABGB.

BTW Guys

Check this link out
FSP >> PC Power Supply >> ATX 12V ver.2.3 >> APN,(85)

the 350w version has a dual rail 12v of 16a
and the 400w version has a dual rail 12v of 17a

so can i add a 5770 on this psu
i calculated using the outervision calc that without gfx card
my wattage(at 100% load and 40% ageing) comes out to be

Minimum PSU Wattage: 181 W
Recommended 231 -this is 50+ of 181(which is the actual load)
add tdp 108 to 181 =290w

the guy at guru3d says the it requires 40a
and now 500w ones gives 18+18 =36a
in that case even a 500w saga II will not suffice

source:
Radeon HD 5770 review

NOTE: 1. firstly getting a gfx card is a rarity coz if my dad sees me playing games he would kick my ass leave alone asking money for gfx card
2. secondly even if i get one ...considering 5770 as mostly i would buy gfx card below it i mean 5750,5670 or gt 430/ 440
