is the Be Quiet! Pure Power 9 600W CM a decent power supply?

Title says it all really, i'm looking at getting a new power supply for when the 1080 comes out, and the be quiet one seemed pretty cheap, though just wanted to get other peoples opinions on it. Oh and i do intend on overclocking on my system.

the one i have currently would be fine but it has a fair bit of coil whine which is quite annoying.

budget is about $150 aud

[edit]:
system specs are:
i5-6600k @4.5GHz
Asus z170-AR
8GB corsair lpx 2133 ddr4
corsair GS600w psu
(and future gpu will be 1080/70 as previous one died)

What PSU are you currently using? I take it's the CX series lol! As for the PSU, I've heard some good things about the BeQuiet company, but as you are doing overclocking as well, I'd recommend the EVGA G2 SuperNova 650W. Awesome power supply using some very high quality components, pretty much the best 650W PSU out there. It's not the cheapest, but its better than the BeQuiet unit by a fair bit, and way better than the Corsair RM650/RX650X.

According to kitguru review it uses Chinese Capacitors, which are not as good as the Japanese Capacitors but other than that I don't see any major issues with it.

If you post your setup, budget and country you are buying we can recommend the best bang for your buck.

That was what i originally wanted but no stores that i could find (in australia) had it, they only had the 650 G1 which from what i've read would be a bad idea.

actually i have the corsair GS600 haha.

Decent cheaper options in Australia seem to be the Antec High current gamer series.Other wise the EVGA 750watt B2.
Which site/vendor do you look at and what budget?

Something like this would be nice for one gpu,but Newegg Australia and don't know if you will buy there.
