The model I've been looking at is the Corsair RM Series 750, but it is pretty pricey, and while it did well at jonnyguru, its hard to justify 130 for this PSU. I am also getting a GTX 770 4gb and will potentially be running it SLI in the future. The Calculator at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp has told me that even with 2 770s it would recommend 625W, so maybe a 650, surely a 700 would be good enough.
My main concerns are the usual obvious, I want it not to blow up my expensive shit. I want it to last a minimum of 3, preferably 5 years. I don't need fully modular, in fact I have a corsair 650D for a case, so even a non modular would be something I would look at if it saved me enough money (I can spend an extra hour securing extra cables behind my motherboard). Obviously I want 1 12V rail, and a name I can trust.
It just seems so many PSUs I look at that I get excited about I see far to many reviews (5%+) where people have had them damage their systems. I understand lemons happen...but a lemon GPU is one thing, A lemon PSU can ruin your pc budget for that year.
So, thanks in advance for your input guys, looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
