If you're upgrading from a lower quality PSU to a higher one, there's several benefits.
One of them is that the PSU won't draw as much power from the wall, to actually generate the power for the PC. With that I mean a 1000w 80+ bronze PSU would need to draw up 1250w from the wall, since it's at least 82% efficient. Gold on the other hand would draw up to ~1150w instead. Which means the electric bill would be a little less
Generally you'd also like to get a higher quality PSU, since the lower ones might not even be able to spit out their advertised wattage. fx. a quality PSU such as the EVGA Supernova 750w g2 is able to output ~749w under normal circumstances. A Raidmax Cobrapower 500w on the other hand will be able to...

A Raidmax Cobrapower 500w on the other hand will be able to output ~385w instead.
Higher quality PSU's also generally last longer, since they're not built cheaply. If you'l like to see a list over good PSU's check the PSU Tier list here on Tom's http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

That tier list misleads more than provides help. There are many flaws / incorrect classing / outdated. It is best to go by professional PSUs of those in budget, or ask the public for help,
I couldn't find any reviews on the Segotep unit though from the information I gathered about it's manufacturer it's probably isnt a very good unit.
Which EVGA supernover is that? (G1, G2, etc)
What other units are available to you?

What case are you using? If it's an ATX, the Corsair SF is incompatible. If that's the case the Supernova GQ is the better option. (GQ slightly lower quality than Corsair SF)
If your case needs SFX supply, the Corsair SF is the better option. Also, if that's the case none of the other units will be compatible.
