Hi, I'm looking to buy a new PSU and would like some recommendations.

 

My current system specs are:

Motherboard: NZXT N7 Z370 ATX

CPU: Intel i5 9400F

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32gb

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070

Storage: (2) SSD & (1) 7200 HDD all connected using sata

Case Fans: (4) 120 RGB fans

Other: (2) 15 RGB LED strips, pcie WLAN card, various USB devices such as mouse/keyboard, Wacom tablet, webcam, flash drive, etc.

 

From my initial research, I believe my power draw draw is under 400 watts, so something in the 450 or 500 watt range should give me a little overhead.  (I'm not opposed to a higher watt power supply if there is a good deal, but it seems like overkill at the moment, since I don't have any significant upgrades planned that would dramatically increase my power requirements)

 

Budget:  The price isn't a huge issue, but like most people, I like spending less rather than more.  I'm hoping to find something around $75 or less, but am willing to go higher if there's a good reason.

 

Other: My PC is a white build with a large side window, so preferably I'd like a PSU with good looking cables in white or black. (I could just get some sleeved cable extensions, but if I'm going to pay $30 or $40 more for an extension set, maybe it would be better to just but a nice PSU in the first place!)  Modular or semi modular cables are a plus.

This is a top tier unit and it is not worth skimping on a psu, (don’t spend 50 bucks on a pos) there’s also a 20 dollar cheaper gold rated one. Act fast they get sold out
