My Corsair GS 700 died on me screwing up my motherboard as well. Anyhow currently i am running a FX 8350 not overclocked, 4X2 corsair vengeance, HYPER 103, MSI R9 270X, and a basic 1TB HD, Asus M5A97 R2.0.

I don't have money at all to be honest but i intend on upgrading the coming year. Most probably a 1060 when it comes out or RX 480.
Please suggest me a not so expensive power supply.
I have Antec VP 700p in my mind.
Kindly help me out please.

In Indian currency that would be like 7000 rupees. I know, if GS 700 could do that to my computer i can only wonder what cheaper PSU's would do.
What wattage should i look into ?
Anything less than 700 would do ?

Is 620 Watt enough for my PC considering the GPU upgrade i am planning to do in future ?

These are out of my budget and i don't know about paying around 7K only to get 620W psu.
Should i just get another Corsair GS 700 ?
 
The anticipated power draw with upgraded video card would be around 350 W.

Could get by using a high quality PSU rated at a minimum of 400 W. Otherwise a slightly lower quality PSU rated at a minimum of 500 W would be suggested.

The SeaSonic S12II 620 W PSU is a high quality unit and is more than adequate for powering the system.

The Corsair GS700 PSU is a fairly good quality unit, but is not as good as the SeaSonic S12II.

That would be the best. In any case, you'll be getting a PSU that'll probably out-last the rest of the build!
