Yes they are good, I had a FSP Aurum and it was spot on.
Time to replace HX 520 but with what?

That's why I was originally considering the G2 because of the 10 year warranty.
Okay it'll be either the 650W GS or the 650W G1. The 10 year warranty is very appealing but I'm confident the GS could last as long. Though of course it could not.

Your HX has lasted this long and that had a 5yr warranty.
Toss a coin, it's your decision
If it's a good PSU then it'll likely last more than 5 years - I'd prefer the Seasonic based GS as it'll be superior in terms of components used etc but this is your decision at the end of the day
True enough mate, it's hard to believe considering all the stress it's had over the years.

I think that'll be what I go for in the end but there's massive peace of mind with a 10 year warranty.

Ignore the EVGAs and grab the SUperflower HX750 while on offer.
Like I said it's too much for my needs, but 10/10 for your persistence!
What PSU are you using, is it by any chance a Superflower?

I am currently on an Antec High Current Platinum 1000W.
But ive had FSP (Aurum 750), Corsair (HX620) and some others i cant remember before.

Get the Superflower 750W while it's on offer!
I kid, I kid, one day I may well get one. Thanks for helping me choose, it's been harder than I thought.

Totally forgot.

Considering the 975BE is 125W TDP, and the EVGA GTX770 SOC is 230W, thats 355W combined without the rest of the rig. The SuperFlower 750W will be most efficient at around 340W - 420W, so methinks it would be the best unit to go for.
That's peak power though, which will only be when I'm gaming.
What's the consensus then, is 750W the ideal PSU for efficiency for my PC?

It makes sense because of its price.
Woot! Order placed!
I went for the EVGA G2 750W, one of the original PSU's I was after. The 10 year warranty and future proofing was too good to miss, even if it doesn't get fully utilized.
It's a SuperFlower OEM so stulid you should be 50% satisfied lol. I'm just glad it's over.

So I've been reading about.
In the end I don't think there was a bad choice really, but I've found it harder picking a PSU than any other hardware component, which seems crazy.
Would you have stuck with the GS?
Personally I would have gone SLI one day (it's a lifetime ambition xD) and I would have gone for the G2 750W, yes, or the 750W SuperFlower HX at that price, but in your case probably would have stuck with the 550W GS
Tis a good decision whatever you pick though, they are all good PSUs

Yeah I'm a bit concerned I've gone OTT, but I'd rather that than underestimating power needs. I definitely don't plan on going SLI or Crossfire, but I do want a singular high end card along with a CPU upgrade, whenever that may be.
