@georgew91 I didn't mean to be harsh. I'd rather be a jerk for a second and get the point across rather than try to be too "nice" and now you've burnt your system. It's a lot of work but that's WHY you should upgrade. I feel your pain. Corsair does have a lot of nice sleeved cables you can purchase in varying colors and there are aftermarket choices as well.

Also, check out this website:

Those are for the EVGA 1000 Supernova and they are red black and white single sleeved. I haven't bought from there but the website looks extensive in the arena of mod diy sleeved cabling. Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Justin S.

Not a good idea. Check this:

Recommended 1000W PSU in CF. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. You've spent a lot of money already. Don't be cheap about the power supply now and risk ruining your entire system. I've heard of people "getting away" with lower psu values etc and then a month later, a year later or some time quantity x later they have an unusual problem with their system and can't figure out what's wrong because "everything's been fine for months" and then they list their system specs and we find something like this all of the time. Recommendation: DO NOT do it this way. I wouldn't advise any of my clients or friends to do this. Please wait until you can get the right psu.

This is all I could find with regard to shipping to the uk for this site:

If I run into something that meets your needs and is a uk website I'll be sure to update you. Let us know how it goes and maybe post some pics when you get it all done!
