Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Shall i pay extra for a PSU that's from a well known company?

Uhh yes, pay extra for a quality psu. Dont go cheap on the part that can destroy everything else in your computer.
Now 80 plus silver is nothing to sneeze at, but i have no dealings with that company to say what level of quality they have.

I've tried to find some thorough reviews of the Tacens unit, it's European only so there aren't as many people reviewing stuff that only works over here. It looks OK-ish from what I can tell, the capacitors are tier 2 Teapo's and the voltages and efficiencies look OK but I can't find any information on ripple and over-shoot and these are the things that can damage components over time. Given the choice I'd err on the side of caution and get the Corsair (though the RM units aren't their best either).
There's a review of the Tacens here http://elchapuzasinformatico.com/2013/10/review-tacens-valeo-v/4/ sorry my Spanish isn't up to much!

It really depends on your needs. Are there any other PSU models you can buy? Do you need 800w+?
I'd say if you need 800+ is because you are doing a SLI/Xfire setup and in that case you'd want to have a reliable PSU.

For SLI of 2 GTX 780 I´d go for the RM850 as it is gold certified and from a good brand or even with the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 as it leaves more room for improvements, but 850 watts should be good enough for your needs. You should never skimp on the PSU, less when going to use one for demanding tasks as SLI or overlclocking.
