PC Power Supplies & Cables: Choose Between SFX 450W and Modular ATX Options

Choose among two SFX 450W units and two modular ATX options by focusing on form factor wording, cable configuration, stated wattage, condition, and the $65.11 listed-price spread.

Last updated Aug 24, 2026

Choosing pc power supplies & cables gets complicated fast when compact SFX units sit beside higher-wattage modular ATX models. The useful shortcut is to decide whether your build calls for an SFX-labelled supply, a modular cable arrangement, or one of the higher stated wattage figures-then weigh that against new or used condition and the listed price.

Quick take

The four choices span $64.89 to $130, a $65.11 difference from the lowest to highest listed price. The EVGA SuperNOVA 450 GM and Silver Stone SST-ST45SF are the two 450W SFX-labelled entries. Enermax MaxRevo 1350W and MSI MPG A1000G move to ATX-oriented names and modular cable designs, with 1350W and 1000W stated respectively. For a shopper who wants a new compact modular unit, the EVGA is the direct fit. For modular cabling at the lowest listed price, the Enermax is the clear starting point, while MSI is the choice for its PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0 wording.

Decision matrix

  • You want a compact-format choice with modular cables: The EVGA combines SFX form factor wording with a fully modular design and a connector list that includes 24 Pin, 4+4 CPU, 6+2 Pin PCI Express, SATA, and 4 Pin Peripheral.
  • You are shopping around a 1350W stated output: The Enermax MaxRevo is the relevant entry, with modular cable connectivity, a steel/metal enclosure, and multi-rail +12V language.
  • Your search specifically includes PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0: The MSI MPG A1000G is the only model whose name calls out both of those terms, alongside a full modular design.
  • You want an SFX unit with an 80 Plus Bronze label: The Silver Stone SST-ST45SF is the match. Its title identifies both the SFX format and Bronze designation.

Product notes

EVGA SuperNOVA 450 GM 450W 80 Plus Gold SFX Fully Modular Power Supply. New

EVGA SuperNOVA 450 GM 450W 80 Plus Gold SFX Fully Modular Power Supply. New

The EVGA is a focused pick for someone seeking a new 450W SFX power supply with a fully modular cable layout. Its named connectors cover the standard 24 Pin, CPU, PCI Express, SATA, and 4 Pin Peripheral categories, and the description also names ECO Mode with a DBB fan. That combination gives a cable-conscious shopper concrete configuration details rather than just an SFX label. The trade-off is the stated 450W output: it is a different capacity class from the 1000W MSI and 1350W Enermax. Choose the EVGA when its compact form factor and modular approach are the deciding criteria, not when the larger listed wattage figures are your priority.

Enermax MaxRevo 1350W Modular PC Power Supply 80 PLUS Gold EMR1350EWT w/ Cables

Enermax MaxRevo 1350W Modular PC Power Supply 80 PLUS Gold EMR1350EWT w/ Cables

Enermax's MaxRevo makes the strongest case when you want a modular, 1350W-labelled ATX/EPS12V power supply without moving away from the bottom of the listed price range. The title includes cables, while the description highlights a modular cable design intended to let you connect the cables needed for the build. It also carries an 80 PLUS Gold designation and identifies the EMR1350EWT model. The key limitation is straightforward: this is a used unit. That condition may suit a shopper comfortable choosing the named MaxRevo configuration, but it distinguishes the Enermax from the new EVGA and MSI entries. Its appeal is the particular mix of listed wattage, modular cabling, and price position.

MPG A1000G PCIE 5.0 & ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply - Full Modular - 80 Plus Gold

MPG A1000G PCIE 5.0 & ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply - Full Modular - 80 Plus Gold

The MSI MPG A1000G is for the shopper whose search is centred on PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0 terminology rather than an SFX form factor. It is a new, full modular ATX supply with a stated 1000W output, an 80 Plus Gold label, one fan, and the familiar 24 Pin, CPU, PCI Express, SATA, and peripheral connector categories. The description additionally calls out Japanese 105°C capacitors. Its limitation is price placement: it sits at the highest listed price in this group. That makes sense only when the model's PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0 naming, plus the full modular design, align directly with what you are shopping for.

Silver Stone SST-ST45SF 450W SFX 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply

Silver Stone SST-ST45SF 450W SFX 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply

The Silver Stone SST-ST45SF is the straightforward SFX alternative for a buyer who wants a 450W unit carrying an 80 Plus Bronze designation. It is also positioned close to the lowest listed price, making it easy to compare directly with the other compact EVGA choice. The title is concise but useful: it identifies the SST-ST45SF model, SFX format, 450W rating, and Bronze label without layering on extra cable or connector claims. Its limitation is used condition, with the description noting scratches from prior use. Choose it when the named SFX and Bronze combination matters more than the EVGA's fully modular wording and new condition.

Final recommendation by use case

Choose the Enermax MaxRevo 1350W if the $64.89 listed price is your anchor and its modular, cable-included configuration suits your build. Pick the Silver Stone SST-ST45SF at $65 when you specifically want the SFX and 80 Plus Bronze wording. The EVGA SuperNOVA 450 GM at $70 is the compact new fully modular route. Spend $130 on the MSI MPG A1000G when PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0 are the terms that define your search.
