yeah they get you on the ease of use features like modular cables. If you are going for a clean look on some cases a modular PSU is required though.

well i have round £70 to spend on a PSU and these the tx 650 is the best i've seen so far but could you find out any others that may be in that price range and be of good quality!!

the modular ones are always more expensive, because of how they are setup, its more than just a cluster of wires coming out of the unit, you have all the extra cables & connectors as well

modular is generally worth it though if you have the $$, i wish i had modular because the TX750 has a ton of wires i dont need

I'll never go back to a non-modular PSU again.
