Hello, I need a selection for a good power supply which doesn't cost alot.

I'm looking for something which has disconnectable cables which can power a core 2 system with a single 8800GTX. I was using a 650 watt BFG power supply, but the 8 pin and 24 pin cables won't reach the connectors on my E-VGA 680 SLI motherboard.

Both cable lengths are 16 1/2" measured side by side, but when you account for angle curves to fit over/around components say 12" - 13".

The case is a Lian Li G70 (Power Supply at the bottom)
Obstruction in the way of top power supply mount area.
 
You can purchase (extension) cables to help with the routing of the ones on the PSU.
 
Here is what I purchased Silverstone ST75F modular style psu, how would you rate it?

I found one at an unbelievable price $139.99 vs the normal $269.99 price at a local best buy. 100 more watts of raw power over my BFG 650w and Quad rails. :D

My only worry is the cable length, but it'll be great if I can buy longer cables IDE/SATA from somewhere that would fit into the back of this PSU connector.

My plan is to route the cables at the bottom of the case using a rubber hook mounts, then going up the backside of the hdd racks using zip ties, so they are completely hidden until they connect to their specific areas. This would give the case a clean look while increasing case airflow over all components.
