Would like suggestions for a reliable, high-quality PSU that can support 2 GTX 780's in SLI with headroom to spare. 800W isn't a hard limit, but it's my take on how much I might need (I do have a lot of fans, USB devices, and hard drives in my system). I have no overclockable CPU, just a basic locked i5. Prefer to keep the budget below ~$120 (but again, a little more or a little less is okay).

Summary:

Buy one. Do I really need to say anything else at this point? Once again, EVGA has something awesome here the competition can't seem to touch price wise. Performance? There are better units, yes. Not very many, but they exist. The real story here is how EVGA keeps managing to offer this kind of performance and still be more affordable...

Not very many, but they exist. The real story here is how EVGA keeps managing to offer this kind of performance and still be more affordable than nearly everything else out there, and they have pretty much found perhaps the only OEM on Earth capable of doing it for them. It's got to be real nice being EVGA right now.

The Good:

outstanding ripple suppression
excellent voltage regulation
fully modular
semi-fanless mode
nice blacked out cabling

The Bad:

nothing at all

The Mediocre:

reviewing awesome units is getting dull... where's that gutless wonder in my pile? Second in line? Well, at least I'm guaranteed something interesting in all the wrong ways in a couple weeks...

Hmm, so how does the G2 compare to the B2 version that EVGA makes? Is there any other difference except for lower efficiency rating and the downgrade from full modular to semi (which isn't really a downgrade anyway, it's pointless to make the motherboard and CPU power cables modular)?

How do they both compare to the HX850 from Corsair?
