The Antec is the better one of the two and will handle the build fine.

yes. I am from India too and Antec VP I would recommend anytime over a VS. But if you can afford it, a Seasonic S12II 520 is way too much better.

Corsair VS is trash. Cheap capacitors and not a single reliable review. I wouldn't touch it with a flagpole. heck, if you think wattage is important, why not this one???? This deserves to be in tier 10 in the PSU tier list.

Yes. This is getting irritating now. What do you think we are just recommending things because we have to??? If I recommend something I do it taking everything else in consideration.

Get Antec or Seasonic as bluemoon_9 suggested...spend a bit more on your PSU budget.

Your precious components will blow up if the PSU is a below the standard one , you definitely do not want that.

A system with a single GTX660 requires 430watts, I would go with the Antec VP 500 their VP line got good reviews.

One last question I want to ask that what if I get Gtx 750 Ti
Then what PSU would you suggest depending on the rig
Would corsair CX 430 be enough to handle that or do I have to go for 500 watt one from seasonic
Please one last time , I appreciate ur help

You are looking at CX 430 V2 80+ standard which is below INR 3K, but the recommended 80+ bronze certified one is this one http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-cx430m-430-watts-psu/p/...

Get the Seasonic 500 watts 80+ bronze certified PSU, you would need a bit space with an octa-core processor and Nvidia geforce 750Ti (TDP 60 - 150ish Watts at maxload) will work with any PSU above 400 Watts (even 300 Watts PSU but you are using a 125 Watts processor so don't).

Sorry, was away the whole day. Yes, a corsair CX 430 is enough if you run a 750ti. But I recommend a 500 W better power supply if you need to upgrade later.
