Just add $10 and you're getting a PSU that's quite a lot better quality wise so...in my opinion, it's worth the $10 extra :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Thank you for your time. :)

how are you getting your gpu from US are you shipping it from there ... cause if you are then it will cost the same as here after taxes ..... but if someone from US is bringing to you the gpu then get from evga as evga provides international warranty.... other manufacturers will not provide warranty if you buy from US.

 

and evga power supplies are not available in india and also fractal design cases are not easily available in india .... even if they are available they will be quite expensive....

Someone is bringing the GPU for me so I am not worried about that,Thanks for the info about EVGA cards will go for it then.Also I am pretty sure I am getting the same power supply in my area.As for the case i will look for a replacement if it costs too expensive.Thanks for your reply

also evga does not have a service centre in india so you have send it to their service centre outside of the country if anything goes wrong with the gpu but atleast it's better than getting no warranty  ..... and also check about the evga psu probably u have to send that too if anything goes wrong so i would suggest getting seasonic, corsair, antec or cooler master psu as they handle rma in india
