Modular PSU help

Go to solution Solved by tommy-b-10,

Thanks for your help guys!

 

Not sure who to mark correct, so ill do this post :P

 

Cheers!

Hi guys, so I'm looking for a fully modular power supply that can power a 3770k and GTX 660.

 

I was looking at corsair 650w TX series, but they are only partially modular. Is there anything that is fully modular but around the same $100-120 price range? 

 

Cheers!

Cheers, but I was more after something cheaper... if there is nothing that okay, but it will make my project a hell of alot easier if there is one.

You shouldn't cheap out on your PSU. It is important that you have a high quality reliable PSU.

Im not looking for a cheap brand or anything, just wondering if there is any other solutions out there, the reason I want it modular is for sleeving and cable management. If not then I will probably just take apart a non or semi modular one and sleeve that, just more work :P

If you are thinking about the seasonic you might want to jump on it because it is on sale for 33% off right now which is why it is so cheap!

 

Sorry guys! I just looked up the seasonic, and as I live in Australia, Its actually more around $250 here! 

 

So I'm back on the search :P

It's good but not better then the seasonic.

 

haha yeah I get that, but for me $250 is just not justifiable when I can just get a non-modular and mod it.
