Is it a modular? If yes, then you can. If no, you can buy a extender.

Most any cable should work. NEMA C13 cords (the ones usually included with PSUs) are pretty much interchangeable and considering that's a cheap PSU, it's probably paired with a budget build that won't pull anywhere over 400W.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Im not talking about that, I am talking about the power cord that plugs in the back of PSU and plugs in the outlet.

Oh, yeah, that's a standard across everything. Like, from PSUs to big speakers, you can use them.

I have a ryzen 5 2600x with rx 590 so I dont want to fry it up with a cheap cable. Will it be fine?

Yes.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

That's exactly the kind of system that I meant. The Ryzen is 95W TDP and the 590 is 200-220W. That's around 300W and the rest of the system will pull some additional 50W.

Yes you can.  I prefer these https://www.amazon.com/Audiophile-Braided-Sleeve-Amplifier-Connector/dp/B07ZZ22XKF/ref=rtpb_3/145-4673959-9491507?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07ZZ29435&pd_rd_r=8a46eed5-8863-4ed6-8328-1fe32f146996&pd_rd_w=qhUQv&pd_rd_wg=orTfQ&pf_rd_p=49740592-2805-416d-896c-b825ad91c2cf&pf_rd_r=R11AKTQPGDHW956Q6MJ1&refRID=R11AKTQPGDHW956Q6MJ1&th=1

You can get em in other colors too, red just matches my build.

Yeah it'll be fine

I even used extension on mine

My PCs: Desky | Beddie | Miney | Benchie

Things I need help with: (nothing at the moment)

Spoiler

none atm

I hate Intel's pricing, Ryzen's weird quirks, Nvidia's pricing, and Radeon GPUs in general

Spoiler

Products I like:

Spoiler

Sony Xperia Z1 / Z2 / 10 ii, Asus Strix 970 / 1070, Samsung SSD, WD HDD, Corsair PSUs (AX, RM, CX(grey)), GeForce GPU, NZXT N450/S340, be quiet! Coolers, G.Skill Trident RAM, Logitech M525, Logitech G440, Razer Deathadder Elite

Products I hate:

Spoiler

Xperia Z3, XiaoMi 5c, Radeon GPUs, Razer Audio Products, any bloatwares

Companies I absolutely adore: (and hope it stays that way)

Spoiler

be quiet! - sent me AM4 mounting for my DRP3 even though it's way past the timeframe stated, no questions asked

Corsair - very good RMA experience, absolutely recommend

Companies I hate:

Spoiler

Nvidia, Intel, Apple, TMT (Thundermatch, a retailer)

Personal Blacklisted Companies:

Spoiler

Acer: shit tier quality products, shit tier customer service thus far, they "tried" to solve my issue but they arent really doing anything but delaying and delaying. (on-going case since July)

Gigabyte: horrible customer service (gigabyte had literally 0 customer service, asked me to go to retailer with NO WAY to email them about a question) but at least they fixed my shit in ONE MONTH (would probably take me 1 hour to fix if they let me email them)

XiaoMi Phones: built like a tank but the software is buggy as all hell

Seagate HDD: had too many dead seagate drives

Kingston SSD: 300V controller swap thingy

Razer (except their mouse)

Remember, just because I had good/bad experiences with these companies/product, doesn't mean you will have similar experiences too. I would still recommend these products if they made sense for your needs, but I'll add a disclaimer of my experience if it's relevant. Feel free to DM me asking why they are where they are.

It's standard for all PSU's
