Been having a few quirks from my PC on cold boot and coupled with the fact my tx650 is probably 7 years old now, I think I might replace it with a new modular unit.

Any recommendations?
 
Thanks for the advice guys :)

I was looking at the evga G2 but I don't think it is fully modular?

Leaning towards the super flower at the moment.

The EVGA G2's are fully modular and are basically the Superflower Leadex Gold units with a different fan, no tacky led's and a longer warranty.

Aside from the awful led's on the Superflower's that can't be turned off, the EVGA G2's get my vote for the longer (up to 10 year) warranty. The biggest downside is that due to the price increases the EVGA is now more expensive than the Superflower and not the other way around like it used to be.

Unless you are going to get a second 1070 and SLI in future you don't need a 750w unit. A 550w psu would easily power your pc even with heavy overclocking. The 1070 is a extremely efficient card and my system (in siggy) rarely pulls more than 230w at the wall while gaming. Even with the 1070 heavily overclocked I have never seen the system pull more than 300w at the wall.

The Corsair RMx series are a top quality alternative that deserves consideration as well.
 
Thanks for the input :)

Yeh, I just noticed in a review that the super flower has LEDs on the connectors. That's a bit tacky in my book. I don't like the led on my 1070, but at least I can turn that off.

I would like a bit of headroom, so definitely want at least a 650w unit.

extra 3 years warranty 10 as opposed to 7 on the 650w and more power is only differences i see.

i would get the 650w if am honest will be more than enough unless you want the extra few years warranty.
 
It may be one of the ones with a noisey fan. It was returned for one reason or another anyway. You also run the risk of not all the cables being there.
