Got a replacement fan on the way for my current PSU but if that doesnt fix the noise issues i will be looking for a new one..
that said - i went with a 750w at first as i wasnt sure if i would sli but i no longer plan to do that

Was looking at a corsair RM650X as i want extra incase i decide to OC the cpu in future, also MSI site says recommended for my gpu is 500w so thats the minimum.. just unsure wether to go with a 550 or 650 so any recommendations?? :)

spec is
i5 4670k
gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H
MSI GTX 970
12GB ram
3 SSD
1 HDD

and then there is my fan controller + 4 case fans

thanks for the input danny, i forgot to mention about modular etc
but id prefer atleast semi-modular, semi-passive fan and not a sleeve bearing fan

was so tempted by the 650 leadex until i saw it was white, would stand out too much in my system and i could only find it at 1 other place in black.. and the price theyre asking would buy the evga 650 g2 with change lol

the evga GQ 650 ticks all those boxes at a nice price though, will check some reviews
 
surprised to hear that tbh, ive seen nothing but great reviews about the GQ

anyway i found the rm650x for £93 and supposedly its quieter than the g2 so thats top of the list for me atm
trouble is now, i have the replacement fan on the way for the psu i have now and part of me is hoping it doesnt fix the issue just so i can get a new one :D
currently have the CX750M
 
well my replacement fan arrived today, got it installed into the psu but its pretty much the same except with the extra annoyance of a constant buzzing sound...

ordered the rm650x - not wasting more money on my current one...
