I have a Seasonic psu, with a 5 year warranty.  Shows quality and it super reliable.  In fact, some of Corsair's best power supplies are manufactured by Seasonic.

If you don't plan to go SLI and still want a top of the line PSU, there should also be a 660W model which is still a lot and more than enough for your build, so you could save a few bucks.

Seasonic is an actual manufacturer, unlike CoolerMaster, Corsair, XFX, Rosewill, etc, they produce the components inside the PSU, and add many electrical parts purchased from other OEMs (such like capacitors).

The premium line of products from Seasonic or other manufacturer like SuperFlower, are the best products you will encounter.

So you already gotten it? While it is not as good as the XP2, the HX650 is plenty for your system. I would save your money and stick with the HX rather than spending ~$170 to replace something that already powering it.
