They're good, but the RM series is overpriced. 

 

Check out EVGA's G2 and G1 series (G2 being better)

CS psus are good and RM is better.

 

How about seasonic m12 series

They're good.

Examples!?

It would help to link us to where you're shopping and what you intend to power.

A 970 and i5 and I'm shopping from Newegg or do you have any better sites in mind?

A decent 500w would already be plenty: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

If you need modularity, you could go with a Hive-550 or cx450m:

It's easily more than enough. 

It would probably be enough, but I'd go 500-550 to be safe

550w is already into overkill territory when accounting for oc'ing.
