So I needed a new power supply for my main rig and didn't have alot of cash on hand to buy a fully modular one. I bought a Corsair 500CX builder series
I bought it off amazon for $40 plus a $15 MIR
Box


Unboxing




Fan


And it came with a really nice case badge



The only con I have about this PSU is that the sata cables are kinda far apart and stiff. and this is not really a con but it came with 2 8-pin pci-e plugs which seems kinda unnecessary at 500 watts
all in all a great PSU for the price
