that psu will handle very well 6850;

Here is a usefull link to calculate how much wattage your pc will need http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

Don't forget to select everething, and compare the wattage increase with capacitor aging;

Well you better off with the 520W, the 430W is not so much better than your old one.

agree with refillable but first of all dont buy from that wapsite try to get from computer hardware shop near by you really it get 15% more cost then computer hardware shop on that price you could even get an seasonic s12 620w which is more better seriously.

try to check if u didnt get in hardware shop then buy it from there i m telling u this because i m also indian thats why for your good and you will save some money then.
