PSU questions.

Hey guys, Im quite new to pc...Just built my first system. 

Im now using Corsair RM650 power supply, When i shut down computer do i switch my psu off? or is it ok to switch it off?

Some forums says it will eventually drain bios battery if i leave it off. but when i leave it on the mother board light quite distracting....

 

It sounds a bit hideous...But Need a definitive answer...T>T

I wouldn't.

If you leave your PC of for a long time it could reset the BIOS. Although unless you've overclocked or modified anything it shouldn't matter.

you should leave the PSU on, but simply covering the motherboard LED would be my solution/.

not overclocking

I've always turned the surge suppressor my computer is plugged into off when I go to bed. This has never caused me any issues.

 

Your BIOS settings probably won't get reset by switching off your PSU unless you've got a defective CMOS battery.
