From the pics, it looks like the 24pin is a fixed cable. no problems unless you plan on putting in custom cables.
Would this be completely overkill for my rig with an rx480? Potentially going to a 1070 at some point. Currently using a mediocre novatech 500w bronze efficiency 80+
Thanks for anyone who can advise !

You could probably manage the 1070 on a 500W PSU, they aren't very thirsty cards.

Hi, would this fit in an itx case? (The Fractal Node 202). Is it as simple as looking at the dimension or is there other considerations I need to think about?
Thanks

That needs SFX not ATX so no AFAIK.
Or at least PC Parts picker with the compatibility filter only lists SFX supplies: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XsbtYJ
And there's not much choice (at least in stock). Seems a 650W Gold Silverstone is your max bet.
Mind you, can the Node 202 actually cool a rig which needs a 750W supply? 11L case so surely needs low power parts?

Nope, sorry. I have a Corsair 600w SFX PSU in 202 at the moment and I haven't had any problems, even with a small overclock applied.

In preparation for those who ask: evga G2 > GS = GQ. But all are very decent PSUs. This one has 5 yr warranty compared to 7 for the g2.

I thought it was 7 on the GS and 10 on the G2? I could be wrong through...

I think the confusion is because not all of the models in a line have the same warranty.
According to the EVGA page on the PSU review database: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page2293.htm
the 750W G2 has 10 years (as does the G1 which is FSP), but the 650W G2 is only 7 years. Strangely, they also list the 650W P2 as 5 years which is strange.

Thank you for your answer.
Honestly, I don't know. I'm going to browse forums and look at builds in the near future. I'll probably be going for 450-600W PSU.

Here's a review:
https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/EVGA-750W-GQ-Power-Supply-Review/Final-Thoughts-and-Conclusions
They gave it gold, while a JonnyGuru review of the 650W version:
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=454
gave that one 9.4/10 which is pretty good.
Thanks for anyone who can advise !
