Question PSU suggestion for budget PC

Looking for a PSU for a low cost machine (office use)

AMD 4000+with ASUS mobo (M2A - VM AMD 690G and SB600 Chipset)
1HDD - 2 sticks DDR2 - 1 Fan - 1 Optical drive - No overclocking.

Please suggest a lowcost PSU which will suffice for above purpose with peace of mind.

I was suggested Gigabyte PSU - are they available in India?

What are my other options?

Also suggestions for cabby welcome

TIA

For cabinet Zebronics Bijli is best. In fact you just get this cabby with PSU included in it for around 2K and it will suffice for you. But of course it won't allow you any room for expansion. Also it is not that reliable.
If you plan to add a gfx card or something like that get a Cooler Master 500W or 600W Extreme Power PSU that will cost you something around 3.2K.
If you want best out there, for your rig VX450 from Corsair @ Rs 4.2K is a awesome deal.

^^ If it's for Office Use than I think you should look for Iball or VIP cabinet available from 1.4k.

Don't use CHEAP PSU, cheap psu are like "Laga to teer nahin to fakeer" may cost your time and system too if went kaput.

And for office use, i suggest Cooler Master 380W PSU. Any sleek cabi with atleast a 120mm fan and this PSU is more than enough to meet demands of an office PC

I heards gigabyte is available in India for ~2k, any idea ?

I dislike the CM extreme series and would go for powersafe or something.

no GFX cards ever on this unit, at max maybe a Phenom sometime in future.
