I've had a number of EVGA PSU's over the years, and while I do prefer Seasonic, EVGA is my budget go-to, granted I consider "budget" here to be more expensive in relation to other components. It has a bit of heft (indicator of good electrical components), is compact in size, has a quiet fan, and has solid cables. It also has the typical main on/off switch; and an eco-mode on/off switch, which I admittedly never use.
This unit comes with a 24-pin motherboard cable, a single unbridged 4+4 pin CPU cable, a single bridged dual 6+2-pin PCIe cable, two 3-device SATA cables, a single 3-device 4-pin Molex cable, and a 4-pin Molex to floppy adapter (the only cable which is flat). The cables in this one aren't flat, which I actually appreciate because it makes them easier to shorten. Which brings me to my only gripe: they're so darn long. Seriously, it's almost as if the length of them is meant to compensate for the space that would otherwise be freed up by leaving a few off. To my knowledge so far, nobody makes affordable short cable kits premade for this make/model, either, and if you're buying a Bronze-rated supply, chances are it's going into a micro-ATX form factor due to price points on components. My gripe about the cables' length aside, it's a great unit.
If you're using a cheapo psu, you'll instantly notice a difference in your system's performance by replacing it with a quality one. Don't cheap out on this component in your rig, even if you can't get a Gold-rated or better one.
