Do I need a modular PSU for a mini ITX?

[Paulo_Oliveira]

Hi! I am going with de core i5 4690K and a GTX970 Strix in a Corsair 380T, I am going to stick with the stock fans, only one HDD, no SSD, very simple... only thing I don't know is that if I need a modular psu, I am planning to go with the CX500 but I don't if I'll go with the CX500M. please help

Yeah a modular PSU will make your operation more convenient. Resolving cable-management is so important in a mITX case that the PSU ought to be modular.

The CX will be sufficient however, it is not good quality. It will work with your Haswell processor and Maxwell GPU but I recommend buying better quality for stability and longevity. What is your budget?
