Heyo, today I took out my [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CX750-Builder-Series-Bronze/dp/B008RJZR40/ref=pd_vtp_computers_3"]Corsair CX750W PSU[/URL] because the 24 pin connector won't clip on properly and both Corsair AND the company I bought it from have admitted there's a fault, and have offered to replace OR refund it. Now at the same time I heard that a modular PSU might be a little better in terms of getting rid of cables that aren't specifically needed, but at the same time I've heard they can fuck up performance a slight bit since the plugs add extra heat and resistance, and my original reason for getting the new PSU was so I could upgrade to ASUS' GTX 770 at the end of the year which I'm concerned might be a little more problematic in this case. The modular PSU in question is [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALK3QRS/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1376178426&sr=1-1&keywords=Corsair+750W+modular"]this[/URL]. I'd appreciate knowing what to do here, so yeah. Should I get the one I have already replaced or go the extra step and get the modular unit without having to worry about losing performance to a significant degree.
You won't lose performance. As far as should you pay the extra for it? It's up to you. If a non-modular is satisfactory, then it's fine, you don't need modular. If you do want the extra cable-management go ahead and get it. Also which GTX 770 are you planning to get, just to make sure you get the best value out of it.

I thought you were getting that one; I would get this instead: [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn770oc2gd[/url] It's cheaper, has an extra fan, and a faster clock. The money you save could even go towards the modular power supply if you wanted it to.
Modular is so much better considering airflow and cable management

hell if your building a standard ATX build you could even go for semi modular
