What PSU?

[Marshstyles]

I am a bit confused about what power supply will be best for me.

My current PSU is the oldest component in my rig, it's almost 6 years old and is a "CM Realpower 850W Modular PSU".

It has had a hard life, most of which has been spent powering two GPUs in SLI and although it is still going ok I'd rather he be replaced before something bad happens.

Obviously I want my next PSU to get 5+ years of use and be pretty future proof.

My current system is;

i5 2500k @ 4ghz, asrock Z68, 8gb ram, GTX780, 2 sdd, 2 mechanical HD.

I will most likey go SLI again in a year or so time also I would like it to be as efficient as possible and fully modular is preferable. I will most likey be upgrading my CPU/MOBO/RAM next year as well.

No budget but prices will have to be justified.

Thanks in advance!

Another one (Same as the X850) is the XFX Pro 850W Black Edition.

All excellent options, I'll add one more as a happy medium between the 850W gold and the 1000W platinum

Thanks for the feedback!

Is there a reason why no one has suggested the new Corsair RM/AXi PSUs?

I went with a corsair ax1200i for my first choice, was doa so went with the Seasonic I mentioned above.

Which as rock mobo do you have? I have the extreme 7 gen3, wish I hadn't bought it due to issues I ended up having to RMA it(bent CPU socket pins). Had other issues with the PC so have given up with it and upgraded to haswell(4770k and Asus Maximus vi formula).
Also have the same PSU, mine is little under 5 1/2years old. I've been looking at the corsair ax760/860 or the seasonic equivalent(what oceaness suggested), not sure if the 760w would be fine for a oced 4770k and xfire 6950s(unlocked to 6970) which I'm looking to upgrade to 780 or the r9 290x(one at first then a second at a later date).
