After looking online and being told not to go for cheaper PSUs because they die fast I decided to search online for some PSUs and found one that someone linked in another thread.
It was an EVGA 750W PSU for around $89.99 (USD) on a sale(Reg Price $109.99).
I won't be buying the power supply soon, well within a month I will, but here are my questions.
I am building my girlfriend a PC and upgrading my PC, here is what I need them for.
Green=Have/Purchased
Girlfriend's PC
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460
MOBO: Asrock H97 Pro 4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600MHz
Storage: 250GB SSD
PSU: 750W Modular PSU
Case: NZXT S340 Matte Black/Blue
My PC
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K
MOBO: MSI Z87 (forgot full name)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB 1600MHz
Storage: WD 2TB HDD
Upgrades:
CPU Water Cooler (Must Be LED)
PSU: Same as my girlfriend's build.
GPU: 2 R9 390s (one for me and one for her)
Case: NZXT S340 Matte Black/Red (me)
Now... Here is the thing. The PSU needs to be modular and not be over $120 (max), would like it to be around $100 or less. I am getting two of these, one for my girlfriend and one for me.
Lastly, I need to know where I can get custom color braided PSU cables. I keep searching online but don't know what to look for. The PSU cables need to fit whatever PSU you guys help me find and one set must be green and the other set must be red.
Other things. Because my girlfriend's build will be a birthday present to her, I am thinking about taking the cable bracket from the NZXT S340 (the one painted blue on her case) and get it painted green along with possibly the RAM heat sinks and the front panel (only the inside part, not the front plate). Does anyone know how to do this? I have a friend who works at a paint shop and he paints commercial metal stuff. I've talked to him to see if he can paint the parts but his paint is aircraft and military grade paints.
