Hi Everyone,
I am looking out for a PSU for the build below: -
Intel Core i5-6600K
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Kingston Hyperx Fury 8GB DDR4 -2133 Mhz
Kingston 240 GB SSD
I am going to use it for development at the moment but I might throw in a GPU 6 months down the line and start gaming.
My biggest problem is the PSU. I am from India and PC hardware is very expensive here. Most people here would buy a cheap low cost PSU that is locally assembled and is very bad at quality. Most gamers would buy Corsair VS550 which translates to around 50$. Having read that VS550 is not really a good PSU, I am on a hunt for something better for my expensive build. Now I have some availability, price and RMA concerns with various brands as listed below: -
Corsair - There is a local distributor near my place who has just VS and CX series. Prices for 550W models are in the $50-60 range. There is a service center also for RMA. Products from higher series are available online on sites like Amazon but the prices are ridiculously high. Something like 2X-3X the price in US.
Cooler Master - Can't say about availability at local stores. Some PSUs from B series, GM and thunder series are available online. Prices are inflated but still manageable for lower series. RMA is possible. Here are some example links -

Seasonic - I really wish to buy this but its not available at local stores. Its available at the only official distributor in the country who is also responsible for RMA. These guys have an online store and also have their offer on one product on amazon. RMA is going to be a pain as the dealer is 1700 Kms away and one has to send the PSU to the dealer by himself. Prices are again really bad but if S12II is really worth the money($88) then, its probably the only PSU for which I can stretch
Antec - There are some models on Amazon and primeabgb, prices are kind of acceptable but there is no info on RMA support.
