MaRvIn January 2, 2014 Share MaRvIn Member January 2, 2014 There is no noticeable difference in the two power supplies. They are both bronze rated and both have the same power options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKap January 2, 2014 Author Share JKap Member January 2, 2014 Yeah but will they fit? And do I need the cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garychios January 2, 2014 Share Garychios Member January 2, 2014 I am trying to help you, but you wont answer your call Modular Power supply gives you the option to plug in the wires you only need for a HD, video card etc. A regular version of it will have all the wires permanently attached, and if you don't need all of them, make the inside of the PC cluttered. I personally run a massive modular corsair Power Supply @ 1200 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garychios January 2, 2014 Share Garychios Member January 2, 2014 The Lenovo K series uses a very similar in size power supply. I actually had one in the office. The 600 should fit, but in worse cases, you will just need to buy another case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRvIn January 2, 2014 Share MaRvIn Member January 2, 2014 I didn't realize the one was modular. Fail on my part.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
