I prefer the modular cable. That said, Xigamatek(sp) has a 620 modular cable one with really good reviews for 109. Like 5/5 stars on egg. Anyone know of it

User reviews aren't worth much for power supplies, except maybe determining if the supplies are of consistent quality. It takes proper testing to determine if the supply is quality or crap, and even those are hard to get on the typical review site. I could find only one review of the Xigmatek, over at Anadtech. They recommend it, though they seem to think it's loud. Anadtech is one of the few sites I'd trust with power supply reviews (along with SilentPCReview and JonnyGURU), so I'd think the Xigmatek is a good choice. In this case, the user reviews are mostly positive, suggesting that the supply is consistently good.

You could do worse than the Xigmatek.
