Cable management ?! Serious help

[Lolcrokn]

Alright so i made a couple of topics here already regarding rx 480's that i will be getting around release of battlefield 1.

I also made a topic or two about which case with side panel should i get to show off the strix 480 ( because of rgb lights ) 

And now im making a topic ( kind of for PSU but mostly cable managment )

Right now i have very bad psu 750 W energon or something and i know its dangerous and stuff but it's also not modular at all 

Im wondering which PSU should i get (around what wattage) and i kind of want to get the cheapest modular but still quite reliable PSU. So I could do cable management in new upcoming case for my setup ( Corsair carbside spec-01 or spec-02 )

 

Thanks in advance.

( also im lowkey so hyped linus hit 3mil 2day)

Does it have to be 750W? 500W is plenty for a 480. What is your PSU budget? The EVGA 500W B2 is a good budget PSU, but not modular. If you want a better modular one, the EVGA 550W G2 is a very high quality PSU.

o i know what to buy if i can buy semi modular but what does it even mean ? all the cables that are not connected are necessary for pc to work so im going to hook them up anyway or what ? 

I will watch a few of the vids if you dont feel like replying

yea i absolutely dont need 750W but this was pre built from way back when i was like 13-15 i don't even know

btw i can't find any reviews on carbside line-up cases from corsair ... do those cases have cable management holes ?

Yes, the corsair carbide has cable management holes in the case. Don't waste money on 750W, 500W is plenty for a single 480 (650W is enough for two in crossfire so no need for 750W).

semi modular means that the 24Pin is not modular, sometimes the 8 pin for the cpu too (but afaik only the 24pin). And you are right, you will need these cables anyway.

so pretty much only pci-e and cables for hard drives ssd's and stuff like that are modular ? and you get those cables with the psu ?

Most decent modular power supplies nowadays come with black sleeved cables(there are some exceptions)
