So, I'm building a new pc.
A mini ITX system, and I have the corsair tx650w (non-modular) psu
The case I'm building in is the obsidian 250d.
The problem is I have 3 long cables tucked away, and I was wondering if there's any room for them in the case. Looking at the pictures there is room, but it will be incredibly messy and block a lot of airflow coming from the intake.
Do I need to spend 150 dollars on a new modular PSU?
The gpu will draw its own air from the side, and exhaust most of it out the case, but some will blow into the case.The cpu will push air out the other side.
I am planning on overclocking the cpu,
The ulitmate question is:
Will there be enough airflow to cool the mobo with the non modular PSU or will I have to invest in a modular one?

Thanks for reading, hoping for an answer! :)
 
Solution
i think with patience and good will, you can make this work. tx is a very good psu and can run any single gpu at the moment. anyway airflow isnt that good on any mini itx case.make sure you use any avaliable fan slot though!
