I need a new PSU for the following system:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K

CPU cooler: Corsair H80 with 2x SP120's

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9 (2x 4GB)

SSD: Samsung 840 120GB

HDD: Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB

 

I've used this system with a Seasonic G-series 650W, but that PSU seems to be defective. I liked the PSU, but didn't like that it wasn't fully modular, also the sleeving of the cables wasn't that great.

 

I'm planning to upgrade the GPU in the future so the new PSU must be able to handle something simular to a 780Ti or 290X. The new PSU must also be Haswell ready.

 

I wanted to purchase the Corsair RM650. It's €95,- which is about the maximum I'm willing to spend on a PSU. After some research I found that the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 is better(?) I like that it has support for SLI/Crossfire, but it's €120,- which is more than I was planning to spend.

 

Is the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 really worth the €25,- difference, or is it better to just go with the RM650? I'm not planning to buy another 770, so SLI won't be happening for a while.

 

Thanks!

I'm afraid I won't be much help here the EVGA 750 G2 is the better power supply, but it is down to you decide if the price difference is worth it, personally I decided it was, still want them to make their individually sleeved cables available to resellers in the UK.

Cooler Master V750

 

As OP stated, he would like to have a fully modular PSU, whereas the newer generation V-series power supplies are semi-modular

Edit: I stand corrected, it appears that Cooler Master started a semi-modular line, whilst continuing production of the fully modular series.

I've used this system with a Seasonic G-series 650W, but that PSU seems to be defective. I liked the PSU, but didn't like that it wasn't fully modular, also the sleeving of the cables wasn't that great.

 

As for the decision between the EVGA Supernova and the Corsair RM650; Yes! The Supernova is the better power supply of the two, however only OP can decide whether the price difference is worth it.
