Hi, my current power supply seems kind of messed up. when I use my computer there's a plasticy odor that comes from the PC. I'm pretty convinced its the power supply as all the other temps are good and the fans are quiet meanwhile the power supply fan is screaming. (If you have any insight into this I would be interested in hearing it). I might be able to fix it by clearing out the dust but I figure it might be better to get a new power supply anyways.

The current one is a cx 750 which I've had for 2-3 years. The two important things to me in getting a new power supply are that it is modular and that i have the option to go for a second 1070 in the future.

Some additional information that might help is that i run a moderate overclock on a 4690k at 4.5 and do some light overclocking my current card.

So what are your guys suggestions? I've heard the EVGA Supernova G1 750W is pretty good.

G1 aren't good , you want GS , G2 or G3.
