Just upgraded my system but still using my old psu and would like to upgrade - no budget really but don't want to waste it on something i don't need :)

Current PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower 850W

Current System:

Core i5 6600K o/c to 4.7K mhz

 Z170A Motherboard

Kinston Savage 3000Mhz DDR4 4gb x 4

Zalman CNPS9900A Cooler

2 x SSD

4 x SATA HDD

2 x GTX970 - SLI o/c to 1250mhz base clock

6 x Case Fans 120mm

Checked on the calculator on outervision.com and it suggested 750W psu

Looking to get the Antec HCP-1000 Platinum.

Should I stick with my old psu, get the Antec or look at something in the 750-850W range?

850w is fine, no need to upgrade

Erm... if it works, don't change it? Unless you see an issue with your current psu, I don't really see a reason to upgrade it.

Still new, but learning

650W is the recommended amount for dual 970s so think of that what you will.

You're fine to power 4 970s without overclocks so I'd just not worry about it.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
