Dude, cancel that PSU, if you havent yet received it.That PSU is not going to cut it, if that is the config you plan to run on it.

Thanks darklord but its too late now i have already bought this power supply on recommendation by digit.They say that it will most probably be able to handle the load.I have calculated the total power consumption by PSU calculator which came out to be 320 watt.So i think this psu will provide that easily.

Dude, when you play games, that 8800 is gonna drink power
I am dead sure its not gonna be enough.

[Harvik780]

Well i calculated the power on full load.

Didn't get what u posted.

[sagargv]

perhaps ur 3dmark scores . . .

[Choto Cheeta]

@Harvik78

if possible refer here, ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme

600 Watts or more in ur case would be some thing to target for

Zebronics 540Watt, 640 Watt and 730 Watt models which are more expensive, are made by Skyhawk.Skyhawk is not known to be a very good PSU maker. The 500Watt Platinum you bought is not made by even skyhawk,must be some chinese OEM. The ratings on most of the sub 2k PSU's available in India are useless.

[Harvik780]

Going for antec 500Watt.Thanks for the replies.That zeb-500w power supply can go to any dumpster.

Good decision
If possible see if you can get hold of any Seventeam PSU, they are much better IMHO. SMC international , delhi had them i guess. They are no nonsense pure performance PSUs.
This doesnt mean Antec is bad in any sense though

[Harvik780]

I will contact Antec distributors in Delhi.I have their phone numbers.I think this 500watt true power from antec will set me back by Rs7.5k.

If you are willing to spend 7k+ , might as well get Corsair 620W, its ages ahead of the Antec

[john_the_ultimate]

Second that, Corsair 620W or even 520W is much better than its Antec counterpart. For lower budget you can seek out Coolermaster eXtreme series.

[Harvik780]

Please suggest power supplies that give 30A on 12 volt rail.I am looking for at least 500watt true power.Budget is Rs7.5k

Get Corsair HX 620W PSU for 7.4-7.6k and be happy dude.That PSU handles Quad Core + 8800GTX SLI so no need to worry

I'll be more happy if u give the phone number of the dealer.
And i also want to tell u that my brother has bought all the accessories,i mean we have just got everything just need the psu.Also everyone here in patna was surprised to see such a system.

I saw that psu on yantra online.I m doubtful if it will fit into my cabinet.I have an ATX cabinet with 3 fans.Also i wasn't able to buy a good cabinet cause its DEHAT after all.And buying one and bringing it from delhi wasn't an option.Buying online also is a waste of money as the online resellers sell at higher prices.

Well that psu won't fit into my cabi.But the Black diamond 500 watt from point of view will for sure.How is it?They say its SLI approved
http://www.yantraonline.in/Product.asp?CatId=13

Well this link says that the SLI approved PSU from point of view has even lesser amperage on the 12V rail

I m totally confused.

Tirupati Enterprises based in Calcutta imports these PSUs. You should be able to get their number from somewhere.

Compromising on PSU for a cabinet ?

I won't get a good cabinet in this Dehat(sorry but thats what the resellers said)
on the other hand i can easily carry a from tirupati enterprises in rachi.

Tirupati enterprises sell point of view PSUs too.Thinking of getting hold of black diamond 500 watt Point of view psu which is SLI ready.

Confirmed,will buy an even costlier PSU called POV/tagan 650w(ultimate gaming PSU).Costs 115 euros or Rs6400

Dude, if you can contact Tirupati and when you know they have Corsair, WHY are you even looking at other options ? Also AFAIK Corsair comes in the normal box as normal PSUs its not Long like the Silverstone or PCP&C high end PSUs, it will fit in any damn Full ATX Cabinet.
