What are you powering? GTX 970? Get a nicer PSU. No-GPU system? A Corsair CX450M will be fine.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Surely there's a better alternative to a CX450.

I'm not familiar with all the under 500W PSU's but I doubt a CX PSU was anywhere close to the best option.

There's some SeaSonic units down there I'm sure.

The new CX series grey units are far superior to the green ones.

A CX450M would be perfect.

The new units are solid.

So what is the best PSU? Also I want a unit with decent cables ( aka no mustard or ketchup cables)

The Seasonic S12 or Corsair CX450M would both be good but the Corsair is modular so I would lean towards it.
