Which 550W PSU??All companies arent equal

 

[experience]

Hey mehrotra.akash,Sorry for not clearly mentioning the item.It is Coolermaster's 550 watt SMPS, local guy quoted the price around 4.1k.

Coolermaster PSU's are not really good..Try to get a corsair VX550 .. It should work fine, and is worth the premium

Actually, it is the only one available with in the local shop. :/

Is that a Coolermaster extreme power?

IF so, dont buy it

Don't buy coolermaster when you can get corsair online , their service in india is best in the business and quality of the psu is far better compared to a coolermaster , a corsair VX450 will be more than enough for your system.

This 500cx corsair for Rs 3000 will also be enough for your system Corsair 500W CX PSU 5x SATA 2x PCI-Express

The CX series is not that great, but still much better than coolermaster..
@Sachin .. Follow xyz2000's advice and get a Vx 450 or CX500 if Vx 450 isnt available

I know the new cx series isn't as good as the the old cx400 and vx450 but for his system it is enough , i run a HD6850 system on a CX400

Actually I'll buy one from ebay too but it will take like a week to deliver. So, I just wanted to know if the coolermaster will be able to run my computer easily.
