PSU cable too short?

[shirokado]

ok so i bought a OCZ ModXStream pro power supply 600w. but it seems all the cables are too short for my Corsair 550D. is there any way i can buy longer cables? cause ive looked at extensions, it costs about 30 bucks to get the NZXT extensions from amazon. however i would rather just buy longer cables for this PSU if possible. well i still have op buy a 24pin and 4 pin extension.... or should i just return the PSU? and pay 20 bucks more and buy another PSU for around the same price point. im looking at the PC Power and Cooling Silencer MK III 600W.

Extensions for the 24-pins and the 8-pins cables are not a good idea; the lesser the connections the better the cable. Considering this, you may be better off RMAing the existing PSU and getting a PSU with the right length of cables.

Are you looking for a fully modular power supply?

Fully Modular=waste of extra money.
Regardless people will use the 24Pin and 8 pin connectors. [:lutfij:2]

Some PSUs come with both a 4+4pin ATX12V and an 8pin EPS12V connector. I have a Seasonic semi-modular unit and both those cables (together with the 24pin) aren't modular, ie I still end up with an extra, unneeded cable flopping around the case.
