I was wondering if this PSU is any good, I'll be using it with my HD7970 and my I7 950, my old 600w EVGA PSU died on me so I was wondering if this would do the same, since I heard the 7970 is quite a power hungry card.

Cooler Master G Modular PSUs are mediocre quality (Tier three) PSUs.
PSU Tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Since HD7970 can consume up to 250W, you'd do well with 650W PSU.
Aim for a Tier two PSU, preferably Tier one PSU if you can afford it.

For Tier two PSU, i suggest Seasonic G-650,

And for Tier one PSU, i suggest either Seasonic X-650, Platinum 660 or PRIME 650,

Note: Seasonic PRIME 650 is the best 650W PSU money can buy at current date. (My Skylake build is powered by PRIME 650, full specs in my sig.)

I don't know from where you heard that Corsair CXM PSUs are made by Seasonic. But i can say for sure that the OEM for Corsair CXM series PSUs is Channel Well Technology and not Seasonic.

The only PSU series that is made by Seasonic for Corsair is their AX series. Most Corsair PSUs are made by Channel Well Technology, while they also have PSU lineups from Flextronics (AXi series), Great Wall (CS series) and Chicony (RM750; the rest of RM series is made by CWT).

Here's PSU Tier list that also includes OEMs: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

If you have the newer model with black lettering on it's side then your CX650M is mediocre quality (Tier three) PSU. But if you have the older model with green and white lettering, then it's low quality (Tier for) PSU.
