i have an old coolermaster igreen 600w psu. its 3 years old and now seems to get a bit hot an noisey when gaming. at 3 years i think i got my moneys worth lol. im lookin for atleast a 700w psu to give me a bit of headroom for upgrades. so far im quite liking this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat= . is this a good psu ? it gets some great reviews. or any other psu's i should be looking at

modular is a nice option but not esssential to me. the antec looks good but the xfx is 100w more an slightly cheaper

. gotta start hoping the xfx comes back in stock or it could be out the window lol

I have the xfx 850w and I haven't used it yet. I got mine for £68 which was a bargain but at that price, it might be better to go modular. The xfx has lots of cables and you'll need a case with good cable management.

i have a coolermaster cm690 and with my set up atm the cable management seems fine to me. there is a gap between the psu and the bottom fan i am able to group up the spare cables and cable tie them out of the way

This is great. More expensive, but that's Corsair for you.
