Im upgrading my evga 550 g3 to an evga 750w g3, exactly the same psu, just will more voltage

Higher wattage model. The voltage stays the same. PSU outputs 12V, 5V, 3.3V.

does this mean i can directly swap the cables over from the 550w into the 750w to save time and hassle because surely the cables will be identical? 

Yes, you can. The EVGA G3 550W and 750W use the same type of cables.
