I would like to keep the PSU by Corsair because this time around, I kinda want to be a bit fanboyish and everything Corsair because h100i, RAM, Case, you get the point.
I was thinking something like the RM750i or the HX 850i 
What do you guys think I should get? The only restrictions I really care about are
*Its by Corsair
*80+ Gold (minimum)
*Capable of SLI 
*Corsair link (Preferably)
*No higher then $170
*Location U.S
*Not CX Series. (I'm sorry I had to say it)

thats the only thing I'm not being extremely OCD about, since I won't be seeing my fans >.< 

But we know O.o and are you telling me that when you look at your computer the little voice inside your head isn't going to say "Your case fans aren't from Corsair" and lets not forget that the air being moved through your Corsair rad, isn't being moved by Corsair fans

Victory! See you say you don't want to but we all know come time to buy the upgrade parts you're going to stare at the checkout going "A few bucks for those Corsair fans isn't going to hurt...right? RIGHT?!?!?!" And many fans later you're going to hate me

I really cant be bothered to have some SP's from what I've heard Corsairs fans are noisy and I really don't want to risk getting another set >.<
