Hello! Currently, I own a PC & Power Cooling 1200W PSU. It's a very efficient PSU, thing is, it's so darn loud and it's not modular. Is it a good trade if I switch this one with a Corsair HX1000 PSU? As of the moment, I don't know the pricing of my current PSU and if it's advisable to purchase a brand new one instead.

Here's a link of PC & Power Cooling 1200W: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/PC-Power-amp-Cooling-Turbo-Cool-1200W-PSU-Review

HX1000: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/6951-corsair-hx1000w-power-supply-review.html

My specs are:
2500k OC'ed to 4.5
8gb vengeance ram
ASROCK z68 extreme4 gen3 mobo
asus 580 DCU ii card (Planning on SLI-ing this GPU in the future)

Help and advise is much appreciated. :)

As of now, I'll just swap my psu with someone. I'll only add around 25$. I really don't know how much my PSU currently sells.

Much appreciated if someone would suggest a PSU. Thanks!
 
Today, a new PC & Power Cooling 1200W sells for $400.
You should be able to fetch a decent price for it on e-bay. My guess is $150-$200, but who really knows?
Some people value the absolute performance over any noise issue.

For sli GTX580, you will want about a 850w psu.

My suggestion is a Seasonic X series 850w or 1050w gold rated psu which will set you back $200 or so.
It is modular, and the gold efficiency means that the fans will hardly ever turn on.

Granted that's a 4 year old power supply which takes about 20-30% performance out of it according to power supply calculators. So i would say less than $120 you could sell it for since you can buy a better power supply with newer technology for cheaper than $250 from seasonic or corsair.
 

It's gonna cost him much more than that, the TC 1200's used to go for over $500, more than double the cost of an HX1000
Trading one for a used HX1000 is a losing proposition any way you look at it

@geofelt, I think I'm gonna check on that. Just posted my price for 200$.

@mightymaxio, I'll check the offers of the potential buyers.

@delluser1, it really was expensive back then.

Here's some pics of my PSU:
