Hey everyone! So, my power supply unit (PSU) just had a mini-explosion with some fireworks while I was modding, and I'm in dire need of a replacement. I've been using a Fractal Design Integra R2 750W 80+Bronze since late 2018, which I got second-hand. It could've died from age or all the dust in my room. Lately, it had been making weird rattling sounds whenever I played heavier games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Apex Legends, plus it was ridiculously hot to touch during gameplay.
Now I'm on the hunt for a new PSU! I'm looking for something modular with white cables to match my build's theme (the PSU itself is hidden, but white is a nice bonus). My case can accommodate up to 175mm for the PSU length. I'm aiming for mid-tier pricing but willing to pay a bit more for quality that'll last a decade. Plus, I'm planning to upgrade my GPU and CPU soon, so I might need more than 750W. I'm not too knowledgeable about hardware, so any guidance would be amazing! Thanks for reading!

Looks gorgeous, but are the cables black? That’s a downside for my build.
