I think it's a waste of money if you get another low quality PSU. SeaSonic, or Corsair HX/TX would do better.

Do you think its worth replacing my PSU? I really have no problems with it at the moment...or just save the money and buy other stuff with it?

If it's working, then you really shouldn't need to replace it...unless you're planning on upgrading something else on the PC that needs more power. But to be honest, if 700W isn't going to cut it for the new hardware, then 750W isn't really much of an improvement.

Bottom line, if you don't need to replace it, then don't. Otherwise, replace it with something a lot more powerful: 850W or higher gives you a 25%+ upgrade in available power, where a 750W only gives you about a 7% upgrade.
