I'm going to RMA it back and purchase myself an upgrade to keep and sell the old one when it returns.
Spec in Sig below but I may need some more headroom as I plan to upgrade soon to maybe a 8700k, who knows.

What's a good replacement, happy to stay with Corsair.

I'd highly recommend EVGA Supernova, build quality is absolutely insane and they're literally silent. Best I've encountered.

Personally, I'd go with any of the EVGA G2 or G3 Supernova PSUs, unless the P2/T2 is cheaper (i.e. on offer). That said, Corsair still make some excellent PSUs and if you're happy to stay with them, these would be fine:

You shouldn't really be needing anything greater than your existing PSU, as an OC'd 5930K and Titan XP is well within 850W. I can't see the 8700K using more power than the 5930K, unless the die shrink has resulted in greater power consumption.

Assuming you want the same wattage.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Thanks guys, went for a AX860 in the end, the silence is bliss, deffo a knackered PSU beforehand, still waiting for Corsair to get back to me on my RMA, day 4 now.
