So, the PSU upgrade has put me in a soup. I never had to think so hard about a component upgrade ever and now, it seems I am stranded with my trusty old VX450. Here's the scenario :
I'm looking for a Seasonic based unit in the 550-650w range to replace my VX450, looking to buy locally :
1. Seasonic X560 - discontinued
2. Seasonic X650 KMIII - not available with Tirupati
3. Seasonic G550/G650/S12II/M12II - Short 12v EPS cable issue. All have only 550mm cable length, will not be able to route from behind motherboard tray of CM 690. Used to have a Coolermaster unit with 540mm EPS cable. So, I'm pretty sure about this issue. No extension cable available.
4. Corsair HX650 - not available.
5. Antec HCG - warranty issues maybe?
6. Corsair GS/TX, Cooler Master equivalents - not desired.
7. Silent pro Gold/M2 - Sketchy reviews
Do not want to exceed my budget of Rs.8,000/-, otherwise massive overkills like the X750/Vanguards are available.
