[SOLVED] PSU Recommendations

[Thumper42]

Looking for power supply recommendations for my first pc https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gdzqsk
The MOBO has the extra 4pin connector and I’ve been told many times that I don’t need it connected unless I plan on OC. I don’t but I would like to have it connected anyways for 2 reasons. I would like the option to OC if I decide to later on, and I’m very OCD so it would really bug me lol. I have only found a couple of PSU with this option and none are really what my research tells me are good quality so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is what I think is a great post on power supplies.

Personally I have two new Corsair RMx series supplies that I've been very happy with and they are generally considered good supplies. Also.....Seasonic is regarded highly.

" I have only found a couple of PSU with this option "
Keep looking as many supplies have that plug.
