Modular or non modular?

[Anvsk]

Hello everyone I was just wondering whether I should get the CX430 or the CX430M they are both around the £40 mark but the CX430 is £3 cheaper - Im going to be using a Fractal Design Core 1000 Micro-Atx case so would the modular version be of any more benefit? Any other power supplies suggested at this pricepoint are welcome

For only 3 quid I'd go for the modular one tbh. You can just leave the cables that you won't need out and have less cable clutter

If you ever get this sorta choice again always always go modular....

I use a OCZ MXSP 600 which is modular, and a XFX proseries 550w (non modular) in my wife's machine and the insane amount of cable clutter is madness.

The fact that you have a micro atx case, you will save yourself an almighty headache by choosing the modular version.

As Fernoix said, really for the sake of £3 there would be no reason not to get the 430M

hands down, modular. since i got my ax750 i can't stand working with non- or semi-modular PSUs, such a mess to get the management right.

That's the right choice. I cheaped out thinking I didn't need modular and it didn't take long til I regretted it. My next one and all hereafter will be modular.
