Hello, 

 

I am very likely in need to get a new PSU. Mu current Corsair TX650 V2 is most likely broken, and needs to be replaced. I would love to have a PSU with a colored cables, that looks clean. White cables or anything, blue, black, grey. Color does not mather to much to me, but preferable white.

 

I know corsair has those cables, but bitfenix aswell. Can I use these cables at all? I am very new to this so I am abit clueless about it. I am from the EU, so keep that in mind that I do not have the option to buy anything from US stores.

 

For the PSU. I do not need anything to strong, and would like it to be semi modulair or fully. With ofcourse having the options off adding cables. 

I was personally looking at the

that Linus used in his
. Can I get any off those corsair cables, and use it on that? Since they labal those sets with only a very few power supplies.

As far as I could read, extension cables only extend and do not mather. As long as you get them right in this order: 
PSU -> Cable -> Extension. 

 

Here is my current build, altho I am looking to upgrade the Gainward GTX 570 to a GTX 770 in the near future aswell.

Yes. The cables are usable on any power supply, including Corsair's.

Thank you! So if i buy http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/psu-accessories-1/professional-series-ax850-ax750-ax650-individually-sleeved-modular-cables-white.html'>these cables, i can just plug them into the PSU cables and then into the part they have to go and it should work? Despite the fact they say, "AX" series.

Great thanks alot! Now onto the part off the PSU, are there any other in that price range I should look for? From reviews this seems to be the best buy. 
Thanks
