There are a lot of PSUs on the market and it's hard finding the one that best fits my needs. I do a small amount of gaming so I need/want a SFX or larger PSU for its stability and power. PSU length and modular cables are important because I like relatively small systems (15-30 liters). Efficiency is always important and I really like silence.
Ultimately it's a very tricky balancing act and out of the PSU's I have looked at the X560 is the best. If I were to look for a small improvement, I would want its length to shrink from 160mm to 140mm.
I made this decision because ultimately stability is the most important aspect of the PSU and the X560 is pretty good at that. Not being loud is my 2nd priority (but absolute silence is lower on the list), Bronze efficiency or better comes 3rd, following that is modular cables, then PSU length of 150mm or less, followed by gold efficiency, and silence from the PSU.
