Now, if I was looking to replace my current PSU for a Modular one. Any good suggestions? I'm getting tired of dealing with cables that aren't being used >:[ Oh, and I won't be running any SLI in the future and I'm only running one monitor.
One last question, I'm competent enough to build my own computer but it doesn't necessarily mean I understand why everything works.
Is having unused watts ruin performance or is it harmful to the PC? Or are the suggestions for lower watt PSU simply to keep costs down and maximize efficiency since I won't need more than those watts?
Missed the Corsair HX post. Yeah, that's a good one too.
A PC will only draw the power it needs. A PSU operates most efficiently in the middle of its range (40%-60%), but that matters less with better-quality (e.g. Seasonic) PSUs which tend to be efficient even under 20% and up to 100%.
