Other things to consider

There are many things to consider when choosing a power supply. The first thing is whether you want a modular PSU or non-modular. With a modular power supply, you only plug in the cables you need. When it comes to non-modular, all the cables are permanently attached. If you don't use a cable, it cannot be removed and must be tucked in the back of the case which can make it difficult when you cable manage. Always use the cords that came with the PSU. NEVER use cords that came with a different PSU! You can fry a whole case of components by using the wrong cords. The other thing to consider is how much wattage you will need to power your PC. If you buy a super high-end GPU and CPU and buy a low wattage PSU, your computer will not run.
