Need help on choosing power supply.

Hi guys, I wanted to change my cougar rs 550w psu to something that is modular and that has black sleeved cables. 80 plus certifications would be a bonus too.

My current setup is 2500k @4.4ghz, msi z68a g43 g3 motherboard, 16gb ripjaws x ram, antec p280 case, xonar dgx, 120gb ocz vertex 3 ssd, 750gb western digital caviar black, and a gtx 460.

I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card soon too, but I'm not going for any multi gpu solutions. Any suggestions on what PSU should I get?

Corsair hx or ax series comes to mind since they have beautiful sleeved cables

Although 550W should be plenty for that build.

I have looked into corsair's psu line up at their website. The minimum wattage for their ax series is 760w and 650 for their hx series. hx 650 looks good but would I benefit from the 80plus gold power efficiency since I think 550w is plenty for my build too.

I'm also looking at the CX M series from corsair, are those any good? I see that they are a lot cheaper and plus they are semi modular. Thanks for the reply.

I would go for a 650W 80+ bronze or higher psu by Corsair or Seasonic..

Same here, I would go with a 650w, anything from Corsair.

They have a few 650w PSU's:

And then the GS600W http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/gs-series-power-supply-units/gs-series-gs600-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply-2013-edition.html
