Spec me a new PSU please :)

[The Gidfather]

Hi Folks,
Just had the refund confirmed on the RMA'd 1 x XFX Pro 850W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (1st one lasted 3 months then died quietly, second was dead on arrival), so I'm now in the market for a PSU that lasts longer than 3 months ...

PC spec is as below, was specced at 850w to give me headroom to possibly add another 770 at a later date.

i5 4670k
8gb patriot ram
gigabyte ga-z87xoc mobo
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3x OC 2048MB graphics
XFi sound card
1 x sata dvd drive
1 x ssd boot drive
3 x sata hard drives

Looking on the special offers this week, these two caught my eye, especially the BeQuiet

Bequiet 850w and Akasa 850w

Taken from a review "The Gold Energy certificate requirements (87%, 90%, 87%) are surpassed with huge margin.
This PSU is very simmilar to the Leadex series from Super Flower (Platinum certified). Due to cost reduction the Platinum efficiency can no longer be sustained. However the efficiency is excellent considering that this is a Gold certified PSU.
It's uncommon to see a PSU with such a high margin to the 80Plus requirement.
