The grey label CX/M have all black cables. 

My appologies, I was wrong.

i have a 8700k 1080 gpu with 16gb ram 

Those two, with OC, will draw around 350W. You definitely do not need a 750W unit.

 

A Corsair TX550M would be plenty, a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 550W, an EVGA G2/G3, Antec HCG Gold, Bitfenix Whisper/Formula Gold, etc.

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