I would recommend against the consumer grade Corsaire style power supplies, just buy an HP / Dell power supply that's been rewired with PCI-E connectors.

What is the standard voltage in India? The 2880W server PSU's in my sig are very easy to set up, can power 8x antminer S3's and are very efficient, however they require 200+V AC input. I wholeheartedly recommend server PSU's in whichever size/configuration you choose, you will pay less, and get a more durable product.  I have had ATX PSU's from most brands fail for some reason or another.

Standard voltage in India is between 220-240 volt .... So I'm covered maybe ! Grin

Corsair is the best brand for psu

All are Corsairs bro ! Please suggest me the best one Smiley Because I want to run 2 Antminer S3+

If your going to do it I'm a fan of the RM series have had great luck with RM-1000's.  But i would suggest looking at server PSU's.

A lot of the PSU market has moved to server psu's.  In most cases you can get more for your dollar with them, and depending on which one they normally are pretty good on efficiency.

2. Corsair CX Series CX500M
3. Corsair RM Series™ RM850

Looking at your user name, it looks like you may be from the state of Indiana, USA.

If that is the case, PM me and maybe you will want to come by and see my operation and get your questions answered.

I am in the Plainfield/Mooresville area.

I have bought 2 Antminer S3+ and I'm confused with which PSU should I buy ? Its power consumption is 340 Watt at the wall and its power supply is 12V DC. So is there any good quality as well as cheaper quality PSUs having 2 separate PCI-e cables?
