Good, cheap, reliable PSU

[Daniel_1198]

I need a PSU up to£70 something that would have less cables so that the PC won't look messy.

My build:

Core: Intel Core i5 4690k

Graphics card: ASUS GeForce GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 Graphics Card - 2 GB

RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL10 Vengeance Low Profile

Motherboard: ASUS H81M-PLUS - motherboard - micro ATX - LGA1150

Hard drive: Western Digital 500GB

PC case: BitFenix Prodigy M Tower (medium tower)

anything under £50

Well, it would be preferable to get a tier 3 or better from this list. Maybe you can wait for a sale or find something locally on the list.

You won't find any love for the Corsair CX500M on these forums, but the reviews for it's non-modular little brother are not so bad, and the build is probably the same.

OK so, I will leave it then, I had did a calculation of power. I need at least 450W and a semi modular, please help me with finding a good a reliable brand. It must be semi Modular or something that don't have much cables that are not being used. and the price can't be up to £70

The CX500M is semi-modular. There usually isn't any functional difference between a semi-modular and fully modular. The permanently attached cables you will need to use anyway.

Well, I'm confused now as to whether you will spend £70 or not. The EVGA G2 that I previously linked was £71.

Yes, the Fractal 450 Edison M is a tier 2 which is good, but for only £2 more, I would get the EVGA 550 G2.

I've just ordered it now, the big question is will it fit in my Bitfinex Prodigy M case

Which PSU did you get?

I wasn't familiar with that case. Bifenix makes the information on PSU size difficult to determine, but it appears that 160mm is the maximum length, though cramped. The Fractal is is 160mm (Unit Measurements:150*86*160)
so hopefully you can stuff it in there. The EVGA 550 G2 is 165mm- too long!

Next time it should be mentioned in the OP that you need something 160mm max, but smaller if possible.

Don't worry I got the EVGA SuperNova G2 550 W Gold Fully Modular Power Supply Unit and it's all hooked up and working fine.
Thanks for your and everybody who helped out
