CX500 V2 just so you have two PCIe connectors for a graphics card that needs two

Corsair CX430V2 - 2200/-
The salient features of the Corsairs SMPS over its FSP competitor are --
the cables are longer and of better quality, fully sleeved vis-á-vis partially sleeved in the FSP Saga series;
the Corsair SMPS although rated @80+ Standard efficiency at ~30° has held onto 80+ Bronze efficiency @50° C in reviews;
Corsair's after sales network is impeccable all over India.

Go with only corsair product in PSU terms.

The Antec Neo 620 goes on sale for $35 AR every few months. It's made by Seasonic, so it's an excellent psu. I'm not sure how big of a hurry you're in, so I'm just throwing it out in case you don't mind waiting.

LOL, Corsair isn't the only good PSU brand out there.
Bro corsair like warranty and FSP only sea-sonic can match in current time. If you can say any other best PSU with selling rate and best features better then corsair. Then please suggest me one. So i can go with that PSU in my future upgrade. Hope you don't mind and take a meaning into wrong way.

Are you aware that Corsair's best lines of PSUs are manufactured by Seasonic?

But as your link shows, numerous brands sell Seasonic PSUs. Your initial post of "only buy Corsair" just doesn't make sense.

I think it's important to point out that not all Corsairs are made by Seasonic. I don't think the CX430 v2 or the CX500 v2 is made by Seasonic.

I think most (should be all) would put Seasonic-made psus above psus made by Channel Well (who I believe makes the afore-mentioned Corsair psus).

This is not meant to say that those Corsair psus are not good. It's meant to say that I disagree with the statements saying that Corsair psus are the best.

If you can swing it, then I recommend getting a Seasonic psu or a rebranded Seasonic (i.e. Antec Neo, etc.).

@ Tintan

You said "only go with Corsair". I'm not going to start debating which brand has the best warranty or customer service or product quality or features or market share. None of that matters, the point is that Corsair isn't the only good PSU brand out there. You can find good units from Antec, Corsair, Cooler Master, Enermax, NZXT, Rosewill, Seasonic, Silverstone, Thermaltake, XFX, that's probably not even a complete list. Obviously these are not all equal and some brands do make crappy units in addition to high quality ones, but still, Corsair isn't the only brand to consider.
