I am currently looking into putting a list of parts for a future computer, parts that will change as time goes bye till I finally get it but I always find myself stuck on one particular hardware due to one feature I like but am not sure if it's worth getting.
The power supply has always been a pain. Between picking the right amount of watts and the brand name I end up with headaches. But the one thing I have yet to decide is to either go modular or not. The ability to pick only the cables that I need inside the PC sounds great. But at the same time not having steady cables that can easily disconnect makes me question the concept. While I'm sure they take this into consideration, I have learned from experience that profit tends to trump quality more often than not.
So what do you think? Do you prefer a modular power supply for the cable management feature or would you rather go with a more secure basic power supply and either pick a case to help with cable management or come up with some cable management of your own? Also what brand would you prefer?
