Since you want custom cables you're gonna wanna get a fully modular EVGA or Corsair

Sleeved extensions are much better than fully sleeved cables. Extensions dont cost 90% the price of the PSU.

Needs money for car parts :P

whats the difference bewtween sleeved cables and sleved extensions

Cables, are rip offs, extensions connect to your current connectors and do the same thing

Still a good idea to get a good PSU like the one I linked, especially if it's fully modular

Depends what case you have. Extensions will be fine in the S340 as it has a psu cover. In a case without a psu cover they will look crap.

If that was the case then i wouldnt bother with either, extensions will indeed look shit, and cables are too expensive for what they are.

They are expensive imo as well, but if someone wanted to spend their money on them I wouldn't say it is a waste. I personally prefer non windowed cases so I don't have this dilemma xD
