Hey guys, I'm building a computer piece by piece and I have a question about my PSU.
Ok first, I purchased an OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W and I plan on using it in a CM HAF 922, but my problem is that the cords are too short. I see that I can buy extension cords for it but I'm a little bit cautious about it. I plan on using this rig for gaming primarily and I heard that ATX extention cables can limit the power making it more likely to fail. I have no idea whats what, that's why I'm here.
Not sure if these are relevant, but here are some of the specs I'm going with.
i7-3770k
ASRock Extreme4 ATX
MSI GTX 670 PE
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W
CM HAF 922
I currently only have the HAF 922 and the PSU.
I'm looking at these extension cables.
ATX 20-24 extension

6-pin PCI-E Extension

4+4 CPU Extension

What do you guys think? Would this work? Or would I be better off trading in for a different PSU? (I really would prefer the latter if possible, but I'd also like my machine to last). All advice is appreciated. Thanks guys.
