Replacement PSU

[Dabombinable]

About 4 months ago I bought a Corsair VS650 to go with my GTX 970. For the first few months it worked fine, but recently its power output seems to have dropped as I can no longer overclock my 970 with it (It used to do 190MHz stable-I wasn't going to attempt anything higher-, now its only 120MHz, and that is a bit iffy). I know its the PSU at fault as plugging in my original 500W through a molex to 6 pin pcie connector allows me to overclock as high as I used to. What would be a good replacement, with the ability to run and overclock my 650ti at the same time being good as well (I use it for folding). The VS 650 is literally the first PSU I ever bought (all others came with my computers-and that was in the 90s before I went to laptops) so I do not know what to buy.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Look at the EVGA 500w or 750G2. Both are great.

Australia, and the lower the price while retaining quality the better.

I've been trying for the last 3 weeks. I get no response from Corsair at all. The PSU is operational, but I am seriously considering to go going back to my 650ti and the 500W PSU that came with my case until I get a replacement, coil whine started literally a few seconds ago-and its the first time the PSU has had it.

Have you tried calling them?

I've tried everything, and I just can't get in contact. I just found 3 PSUs that seem to be good for the price and cost less than my VS650 ( I got ripped off, it was $220):

The EVGA 750G2:

Which would be the better one to go with in regards to reliability?

Other than the 750G2, I wouldn't recommend any of those. Get a 750B2 instead: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

Comparing the G2 and B2, I'll buy the one that has the lower delivery fee, all that appears different is the efficiency.

The 750G2 is built better but is quite a bit more expensive.

I can get it for $109 as well from amazon, that's why I said I'd choose the one with the lower delivery fee as I've known amazon to overcharge for postage, and send items in tapped together bits of cardboard with bubble wrap.

Why not just get it from an Australian retailer?

Yeah, I might just go with the B2 since I can buy them within Australia, currency conversion increased the price a fair bit on the G2, and its $145 on PC parts picker AU.
