I know I want a gold quality 550w+ EVGA psu, but I'm wondering if the G2 has better quality that it is worth the extra $20 over the GS? Are either of these known to be loud or cause problems when paired with a gtx 970 gpu?
Note - The 650w G2 is currently cheaper than the 550w G2 (due to rebate)
The 550w GS is $60 after rebate
