Hi, soon I am going to build following rig, and I am not quite sure which PSU to buy...here is my configuration:
2500k
mobo8Z68 V LE
hdd:1tb
Seagate barracuda
dvd rw drive
graphics card:gtx560 ti or 6770....
I calculated my required wattage at newegg and it comes out to be 505w. Please guide me to correct psu wattage and brand. I have cooler master and corsair available here. Also, what is meant by gold certified or bronze certified?
which models of PSU. most CM power supplies are not that great, while most corsairs' are. but not all corsairs are great and some CM are. be more specific!
Depending on what's available i'd buy a Corsair over a CM everytime.
A CX430V2 will run a 6770 no problem.
If you go with the GTX560ti i would recommend a CX500V2 or 600V2.
The Corsair CX500V2 will power either one of those gpus.

I too thought like that before making my choice. I was planning on p8z68 v gen 3, but it gets expensive here in India. Also, there are no gigabyte service centers nearby which may help if my mobo is defective. Newegg don't ship to India too.
BTW, is there any other reason without Bluetooth, more phases, extra Ports that I should worry about this mobo? let me know your opinion..

To be very Frank,I don't know much about it.it's my first build. And all I know is,I want a power supply of around 650w. I am confused in models myself. Can you tell me cm's good ones?
The cx line is made by seasonic, while the gs line is made by CWT (channel well tech)
Ah, the old Seasonic is better than CWT trick, I agree
Here's the problem, the only CX that was a Seasonic inside was the 400 and they discontinued that one
Thanks for that one. I didn't knew that site...kinda cool. From above discussion,I feel like I should ditch cx600.
I am Confused in seasonic620w and gs 600 now.

I'd buy the Seasonic it has a 5yr warranty and better efficiency 80+ Bronze.
