Hey Guys, looking to buy a new Cabinet & PSU, so need help bcoz i have never used any Branded Cabinet or PSU ever.
My specs are :
CPU- AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
GPU- Gainward GTX 750 1GB GDDR5 OCed to 1204 MHz core clock & 3100 MHz memory clock
Mobo- Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
RAM- 4GB(x2) 1333MHz
HDD- Seagate 500GB 7200rpm.
Now I am planning to buy Cooler Master Cabinet N200 which comes with 2 pre-installed 120mm Xtraflo fans & i would like to add 2 remaining optional fans. For the PSU cant decide between Corsair VS450/ Corsair CX430V2/ Antec VP450. Antec ones are hard to find here. I heard that Cooler Master Thunder 450W sometimes burst & damages components.
My CPU temps remains around 55°-60°c and GPU temps 47-55°c (with manual fan control) after playing heavy games like Watch Dogs for 1 hour preceeded by browsing... movies....but CPU idle at 45-47°c and GPU idle 32°c.
My budget is only 5500-6000 INR i.e., within 6K for Cabinet & PSU.
My current cabinet is a crap Colors Cabinet with preinstalled PSU of 450W & i have been using it for 3 years.
Thnx in advance !!!

Do you have any other options? The Antec is okay, but there are better PSUs out there.

You will need four connectors, but they are on your motherboard. The motherboard will control the power going to them so you do not need to worry about it (unless the fans only use Molex connectors).

do the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 really have 4 connectors ?? I could only see the CPU fan connector. If it is not present then how can i connect the 3 Cooler Master Xtraflo 120mm fans( 2 fans are preinstalled & i will add another side fan). My PSU of choice is Antec VP450 as you mentioned.

Sorry, didn't realize that you had a uATX motherboard. You will need to buy a fan controller or Molex to 3/4 pin cables in order to power them.

I use the Sunbeamtech Rheobus to control my fans. Not sure what's available in India, but there are several people on eBay selling them that might do international shipping.
