Budget Indian Gamers, Avoid Corsair VS Series PSUs at all cost

Corsair Budget PSU LineUp, VS Series Power Supplies are complete garbage. They might be cost effective but not even worth a single penny. I have heard numerous complaints from people having random reboot issues with these units. Avoid them at all costs, a much better alternative is Circle PSU which provide much better quality at similar price range. I see so many people buy Circle Cases for their PC builds but most of them ignore the potential of their PSUs.

I have owned a Corsair VS450 PSU unit which started giving me random reboot isues just under 4 months of moderate usage, while my current Circle 500W PSU is doing really well for more than 2 years. I can't tell much you how much i suffered due to random restarts issue due to this poor quality Corsair unit, it drove me nuts for more than one and a half year (oct. 2014-Apr 2016).

In early May 2016 i got this Circle 500 Watts APFC PSU which looked quite impressive right from the start, the cables looked premium though little disappoiting as no other than motherboard 24-pin connector had sheilding but that's acceptable at this price range and quality it possess. One of the best i liked about this PSU is 24-pin motherboard connector was quite slick and plugs easily in socket without using much force which isn't present in even some of the most high end PSUs.

So guys my conclusion is, if you are on a tight budget and want a long lasting quality psu and better life for your pc. Look nowhere else and get any 80+ bronze Circle PSU, earlier their PSUs (when i bought it back in 2016 they didn't 80+ certified units) but now they have quite a few of them. They have a good range of 450W-700W units which would serve you well.

Circle 500 Watts APFC Power Supply Review

My Stunning Looking Quality Circle PSU
So two years back i got this Circle 500 watts APFC PSU for my PC as my Corsair VS450 PSU was having random reboot issues that i had to suffer for 1 and a half year (Oct. 2014-April 2016). I got this PSU in early May, not only the price was great (i bought it for ₹2550) but the build quality was also above par. It's the cheapest 500W PSU in Indian market with AMD Gaming / Crossfire and Nvidia SLI certification.

One of the most satisfying thing i noticed about this PSU while installing it my PC was how slick Motherboard 24-pin ATX connector was. You don't need to put any force, just push it gently and it will go all the way.

It is silent and has a decent 120mm thermal fan which is barely audible even when your PC is running at full load. No overheating issue even when PSU is fully stressed.

There are 5 SATA Power Connectors, 3 Molex, 1 PCIe 6+2 pin, 1 CPU Connector with EPS 12V (8 Pin), 1 Motherboard Connector with 20 + 4 pin and 1 Floppy connector with 4 pins. Should be more than enough for average consumer.

Comes with 3 years of warranty provided officially by Circle so you don't have to worry if it fails or starts malfunctioning although it's unlikely with this unit as it offers tremendous quality, i would be surprised if it fails under 3 years even with heavy usage (14-18hrs per day) and expect it to last at least 5 years with normal usage (6-8hrs per day).

So far for me it's been really good, you can say Indian brands are excellent at providing quality budget products. I hope Indians brands can dominate the market in near future so our economy can grow, we can get rid of unemployment and most importantly poverty. Possibly in future people might realize that extra charge that MNCs take is not worth it, it's not for better quality but actually due to their greed of extra profit margins.

If OnePlus Phones can be priced competitively in India, why can't other namebrands electronics?

I am quite impressed by seeing how well OnePlus phones have been priced in India ever since their first official launch back in Late 2014.

The Official price of OnePlus 6 in USA is 530$ (₹36,000 approx.) In India the price is 35,000 which is barely 1,000Rs. cheaper than USA for base model. This also proves that Import duties and taxes have minimal affect on the final pricing of a product.

So we come down to the conclusion that most MNCs are making extra profit by selling electronics at about 1.25x to 1.50x higher prices compared to America or sometimes Europe. I think the current launch of OnePlus 6 has really proven my point.

That's the reason why building a decent hardware equipped budget PC is a dream for many. I am also in a dilemma due to high prices of pc components and using a pc back from mid-2011 which i'm eager to upgrade.

Though I have everything upgraded except monitor and processor ever since I bought but i still in a hunt for better CPU and bigger monitor.

Most of my upgrades have been budget oriented cheap upgrades like adding another 4GB stick, getting Asus H61 motherboard after my original one (Intel DH61WW) started malfunctioning due to mishandling, adding two Seagate Drives (1TB in early 2015 and 2TB in late 2016) as I initially had only one 500GB WD Blue HDD.

GPU and PSU upgrades for me were a must as they both were failing severely, my GPU had crashing issue in most modern games and my PSU used to cause random restarts and both i replaced 2 years ago (GPU in March 2016, PSU in May 2016). It was such a relief to see all those bogus issues disappear and now i could enjoy doing my stuff without any worry.

Coming back to the topic,

Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Nokia, Google etc. are the major brands which people look up-to a lot. There's no second thoughts denying the fact they lead the big chunk of not only smartphone market and but other electronics such as DRAM/NAND Flash chip manufacturer (Samsung), Playstation; Bravia TVs; Blu-ray Players etc. (Sony).

We all are thankful to google for making Android Open Source thus indirectly offering people ultimate smartphones within the reach of their tight budget and who doesn't know about Microsoft for making the most popular and widely used Windows OS for computers.

Now just imagine if these major companies can be honest in their pricing policy then what wonders would it do for India, right? Our economy will get a huge boost, the share market would sky rocket and most importantly even middle class to some lower middle class people would be able to afford the electronics that are unfortunately in present moment considered a luxury in India.

I am hoping one day my dream will come true and we Indians would finally be able to get value for our money, especially in consumer electronics sector.

The Lie of Stupid "Science" We Live

Well, the world these days is simply stupid. Most of the things happening around make me cringe and yell so hard that it would blow the whole universe.

What stupid scientists don't understand is Humans are a form of universe or you could literally say are universe itself. What happens inside us has an effect on the whole universe (not only limited to earth) because the god designed it in such a way that everything is connected and our actions syncs perfectly with nature's harmony.

With all the stupid scientists we see these days are actually just a symbol of Satan (or even worse). They just try to decline the existence of higher power and believe that they can do anything without the help of nature or belief in spirituality. 

If so, why can't a dead person be brought back to life without any hope of miracle?

How come the whole world is balanced, synchronized and organized almost perfectly?
