DON'T buy the Corsair CX with the green label!

What are the specs of the PC you're powering? We need to address if an old revision CX is OK for your system for one.

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

This won't blow up. The extra cables aren't a problem, every pre-build PC has them. Just tuck them away somewhere in the case.

For that price this is a much better choice.

agree, if you look a bit furthere you can probably find something even better. Point is, don't buy the old CX.

Here a list. It's still pretty acurate.

This is pretty close in price to that CX, and as long as 430w is enough this'll probably be better.
