I have only two psu brand options
Corsair CX500V2 78$
^ CX600v2 103$
Thermaltake Smart 630w 88$
Pls suggest me a durable psu
 
Hey. I have an overclocked FX6350 @ 4.2ghz/1.33v and one overclocked 270X.
Seeing how you have an underclocked, & undervolted Intel i5, and two 270X's, I think you'd fine with an bronze 550W PSU.
Personally, I have no experience with corsair power supplies, but I'd never buy one of them. I'd rather go with the Thermaltake.
I read this article, http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Thermaltake-Smart-630-W-Power-Supply-Review/1481/5 and found that it uses Teapo(Cheapo) capacitors, which are pretty shit. http://shaddack.twibright.com/projects/badcaps/ . Honestly through, I'd reccommend, if possible, to find more options. Get a rebranded Seasonic perhaps?

He only has one 270X. Dual-X is a Sapphire cooler type. Nevertheless, 550W is the correct size to get because 270X needs two PCIe connectors and units under 500W tend to only have one. For two 270X's, 650W+ would be ideal.

I agree with the rebranded Seasonic recommendation - or an actual Seasonic. XFX TS550 tends to be pretty good value, as long as it's available at the OP's location.

Oh.
Well, the PSU options OP has are pretty lack luster. How come you can't get other power supplies, OP?

XFX psu's are out of market.Only Gigabyte and Antec vp550p(Only)are found in market.I found on net that Corsair and TT are best.This two brands psu's are most available in my local.
So should i buy CX600v2 right?
 
The Corsair CX600 V2 and Thermaltake Smart SP630 PSU's are not really recommended as they both use relatively lower grade components, so there is a concern about the reliability/durability of these units.

Some suggested alternative better quality PSU's from Corsair and Thermaltake are -

Corsair HX650

Thermaltake Tough Power TP650P (performance not the best but better than many other PSU's)

Thermaltake Evo-650M
