PSU question

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but. I got a corsair 650TX with no power cable. I have 2 and I'm wondering which one I should use.

18G with 10A 12.5V 1250W And 16G with 13A 12.5V 1625W . Does the difference in AMP of the cable matter? I assume thicker is better.

Re: PSU question

while heavier is always generally better.... in either case, the lighter one is pretty much capable of twice as much draw as your psu is even able to spit out.

Grab whichever one you want, it won't really matter
