Hello. I am looking for a new PSU because I have a Chieftec NITRO 2 85+ and have heard alot bad talk about it...
So im looking for some recommendations.
The cheaper the better but still reliable

My system is:
P8Z77-V LK
3570k 4.1Ghz
GTX770
2x4 Gb RipJawz X Ram
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM
Samsung 840 Evo SSD (Windows)

I think you have time on your side. If your Chieftec is OK for now, why not save up your money and study the power supply articles. Then when you see a high quality brand on sale in the next 3 to 6 months you can jump on it and end up with a Gold PS that will last 7+ years. You will probably replace your CPU, MB, GPU and RAM two to three times in the same period you will own one very high quality PS that you won't have to worry about. IF you get something in the 650 to 850 watt gold range you will likely have enough power to do a Xfire/SLI setup sometime in the future if you want too! A little too much power will never hurt and often times will even save you money as most larger gold power supplies are most efficient at about half output!
Here is a list and there are many linked articles:
