Need a new PSU

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for some advice, I am looking at getting a new PSU sometime soon but I dont want to break the bank but I also don't want to cheap out, I currently have a CX500M and it has served me well. But now I am looking for something with a better rated efficiency with nice cabling (the cabling is not a big deal as I will be getting some CableMod cables soon) and recommendations.

 

PC Specs :-

Intel Core i7 6700K (Oced to 4.6ghz)

G1 Gaming GTX 1070 (Oced to 2ghz)

Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3 Motherboard

16gb Kingston HyperX Fury

120GB Kingston HyperX SSD

250GB Sandisk SSD

1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD

 

I am really looking at also getting a new PSU because I want my PC to look nice inside, so I can properly cable manage.

I have come to the conclusion that this is a toll post.

I assume you want a fully modular PSU for custom Cablemod cables?

 

I'd get something like an EVGA G2/G3 or Seasonic X-series since those are very well supported by Cablemod.

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