1. Have U heard about ZEBRONICS platinum 400W and 500W PSU..???

2. Is it a safer PSU with good performance,functionality and quality....???

3. Will it be worth enough to run graphic cards like HD6670,GTS450,HD5770...???

Pl z give me good suggestions... :D
 
They don't look very promising. Rated very low on the 12V rail. (17A and 22A for the 400 and 500W respectively). That makes them more like 250 and 300W PSUs realistically.

No idea about who the OEM is, but maybe someone else here does. Still, I'd just as well get a PSU from a more reputable brand. What country are you located in, and what other PSUs are available?

Well if you want 80Plus certification, then you're gonna have to spend the extra cash for a better PSU as every other PSU you've mentioned have been pretty crappy PSUs. The Corsair is the only decent PSU out of the ones you've mentioned.

However, do note that there's two versions of the CX430: the original CX430 without 80+ certification and the new CX430 V2 with 80+ certification.

How to find whether its a CX430 with 80+ certification..???

Is CX430 out in the market..?? because, new products comes with little delay in our country...

80Plus certification in this case really doesn't mean much. When JonnyGURU reviewed the original CX430, it was just a hair below 80% efficiency at the 20% and 100% load levels.
 
Yes, it will. And there's no need to use colours in your text like that.

Most of us on forums can read & at above a kindergarden level & dont need bright colors to tell us the differance.

Also another vote for the cx430. Also if everything runs behind in india look for the original 400cx. Its also an extremely good PSU (most say better then the 430)
 
don't go cheap on PSU. it is the heart of your computer. i'd stick little more $$ to get decent psu that can do 500~600w and get done with it...

Low wattage does not mean cheap. There have already been good suggestions on a Corsair 430CX psu on this thread. Why would he even remotely need a 500-600W psu when he lists some very low end videocards?
 
Antec Earthwatts 380 is a good power supply that will most likely be able to take care of his system. A stealthxstream 500 watt is a worse power supply than a CX430 or Earthwatts 380.
