No, modularity has nothing to do with it.

It's a budget line of PSUs from Corsair, built down to a price. They did get some revisions at one point to primary japanese caps, but they're pretty poor in quality/stability overall.

Similar on the outside and 'high level' (650W etc), yes. Dramatically different on the inside.

Personally, I'd vote for neither as "better" and both as overkill/overpriced.

Outside of SLI compatibility, there's not too much difference between an X370 and B350 board. And those are much more budget friendly.

You're looking at $200+ boards, a high end CPU.....and a very poor PSU.

I'd opt for a B350 Gaming Plus from MSI at ~$100

And you some of the money saved towards a better quality PSU. Doesn't have to be much more, but something like:

That being said, I suspect you're not in the US? I don't believe the VS650 is still for sale anywhere.

Where are you located specifically?
