As some of you know or have read I purchased parts for my newest gaming build. Here are the specs.

i5 3570K
Gig. UDH5 Mobo
Corsair 500R
8 GB Ram
1 TB HD
1 Samsung 830 SSD
Corsair H100 Cooler
Gig. GTX 670 OC version

Now I originally purchased a seasonic modular 520 which would run the system fine. According to wattage charts, even if I oc my system I shouldn't need more than 400watts. With that said, guys here and some friends suggest at least a 600 watt psu. With that said I RMA'd my 520 and I'm now looking at the following PSU's. Which do you think I should go with?

Oh I'm also open to other suggestions. I'm way over budget so price doesn't matter.

Funny you posted this, because I was currently looking at this one :D. All Corsair TXV2 series are also made by Seasonic, only cheaper in price. The M series is made my Channel Wells. I was really looking into the Seasonic 750 because it's on sale for 159.99-40 instant rebate for 119.99 or get the Corsair you mentioned for 89.99 and do a mail in rebate for $10.00. Hmmmm

If ya got the money, then diffidently get the Seasonic, amazing quality. If not, the Corsair will do just fine.
 
Well I went to order last night at 12:30 at night and the promo for the Seasonic expired at midnight. This particular Corsair unit is made by Seasonic. And I only need a 550 watt, so 650 watt is more than enough and the 750 watt was overkill. Long story longer, I went with the Corsair and should have it tomorrow........ Thanks for the input guys, always appreciated and never taken for granted.
 
I'm sooo upset with myself right now. I just got in my psu, so I can do the build over the weekend and just noticed it's not modular. I wanted modular urghhhhhh!!!! RMA again dude I'm pathetic.....
