I'm building a new computer right now and am torn between what PSU to get. Corsair used to be my go-to company but I've been told that they've recently been poor, so I'm looking for alternatives. My current setup requires, according to PCPartPicker, 428W. I am currently toying with the idea of watercooling with a Corsair H75, but that is not currently planned.
However, overclocking is currently planned for the future for the sole purpose of casually squeezing out some extra power, not to see how far I can push the chip.
Here's the setup:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($209.99 @ Amazon)

Now I think that Seasonic should be enough, but I had the idea to reuse my old Corsair PSU. It's more powerful, but I'm not sure about the connectors and whatnot. Thank you for any input you may have.
Here's the old PSU I have:
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V
