Friend looking for a PSU

Unfortunately my friend is not building his PC himself...but ordering one (I know I know I know, he won't listen to me). He was gonna order this prebuilt with a SilverStone 600w it was Gold rated but I was like hmmm idk. I really like EVGA PSUs backed by 10 year warranty, Corsair is 7 year I belive but I heard some of their PSU series were built with cheaper parts than others. I just remember some people telling me to stay away from X series, and use Y instead among their PSUs. Anyways any suggestions? It may be hard for him to get an exact PSU since he's buying prebuilt (ppl just refuse to take time to learn I swear) but I wanted to get a few decent brand names to recommend to him. I think he's probably gonna have a 600-800w ish PSU.

Current PC build: [CPU: Intel i7 8700k] [GPU: GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix] [Ram: Corsair LPX 32GB 3000MHz] [Mobo: Asus Prime Z370-A] [SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB primary + Samsung 860 Evo 1TB secondary] [PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750w 80plus] [Monitors: Dual Dell Ultrasharp U2718Qs, 4k IPS] [Case: Fractal Design R5]
