Is full modular worth it?

Yes, if you have the money to spend. Usually you get higher quality cables and you'll have less clutter.

[Hans Christian | Teri]

If you're gonna spend that amount of money? Hell yes.

[MegaDave91]

Yes, although semi-modular is fine too because you will use the cables that are not modular.

Depends on the case it's going in but in general yes, save so much space on cable clutter.

[hawthorne]

You might as well go fully modular as it means you can get nice extension in the future. However you are going to be using all of the cables so you could get away with a completely non modular power supple...

It is, later on you could also colour match your build with coloured cables from Cable Mod.

In terms of space, it gets rid of some of the extra cable clutter as you pick which cables to use.

In case your power supply fails you can replace it easily whereas with a non-modular power supply you'll have a harder time with the attached cable clutter.

Yes. It is more of a convenience than anything else. Less cable management to deal with. Also price has gone down since it first came out. I have worked with both. If you don't like unused cables lying around then go modular. For cheap builds I go with non modular psu's because people like my parents don't even look at the inside of the case. Also depends on the case and if it has a window. Best of luck.

But go with beautiful cables at least (extensions) or you could just go with the EVGA 850G2 wich is fully modular and looks frigging amazing

If there is not going to be an ssd in the system (and there should be one given the budget), the Hitachi hdd is a less than optimal choice. Get a unit with at least 64MB of cache.

 

Get a better psu. In fact, drop one of the gpu and use the resources elsewhere in the build. A better and slightly larger psu, an ssd, a better hdd.

 

PSU quality trumps modularity. But fully modular would be ideal.

[TheeBackground]

Quite frankly, semi-modular just means that your 24 pin cable is the only connection hardwired into the PSU, it's more or less the easiest cord to manage.....I don't believe it to be worth it, but that's just me.

I have an ssd in my old build which I will use and I will be gaming on 1440p with at 120hz so I need the 2 980tis

[AliveGhost13]

These are better.

Then find more budget for a better and larger gpu.

Unfortunately there isn't much around 900W - 950W. A little on the large side, but very good quality EVGA 220-GS-1050-V1, Almost as good and a little less expensive, EVGA 120-G1-1000-VR.
