Corsair still seem to list it as a psu for a basic system build though. I agree that they are better than the previous gen models.

Dosen't matter what the brand says

What matters are the real life situation testers/reviewer's 2 cents on it

A couple more observations:

 

You don't really need an SSHD as you already have an SSD in the spec. Just go with a Western Digital Blue 1TB instead.

 

Also what cpu cooler is that ?

I would put a better cpu cooler in there to be honest. The Coolermaster hyper evo 212 as mentioned above would be better.
