Do I need a better quality psu?

[Crossbred]

Having heard of some unfortunate losses due to power supplies in the cx-m line, I'm wondering if it is worth getting a more protective psu for my 5820k. My CPU and mobo are the only parts of my build I am worried about taking damage from an electrical problem, as everything else can be replaced easily enough. I'm running these on a cx750m behind an old surge protector. My house isn't notorious for electrical problems but they have happened. If the switch is worth it I am open to suggestions. 

Thanks!

the CXm line is ok, it was the older CX line that had some quality issues. Though the CXM line is a more budget oriented line you may want to upgrade to something a lil better to suit the 5820k better.

Is the G3 line from evga any good?

If it's for the 280X system in your signature then don't bother upgrading. You'll likely be fine for a good while.

Yep the G3 is the updated G2 for more quality improvements.

As I stated in the first post I'm doing it for my 5820k and mobo. I might upgrade my GPU soon anyway.
