Decent enough psu made by FSP with a 12v single rail providing over 60amps. It's semi modular, has 6x PCI-E power connections and has made it on to the Tom's Hardware Tier 1 category for psu's.
You could opt for the G2 models (made by superflower) but they're usually £100 upwards and rank lower in the TH bang for buck test.
Apologies. Should say semi modular I guess. Given that the main ATX connection is required for all builds though I don't much see the point in it being detachable.

G2 is made by superflower and GS by seasonic. Nevertheless it is a very good psu
Worth noting 750W G2 which would cost about £25 more comes with 10 years warranty. GQ only comes with 5 years.

I bought the 650wGQ on Sundy after a billy-bang-**** style situation with my Corsair gaming 800, The 650w was £65ish, my local didnt have the 750w in so I went for this. I only ever run one graphics card so plenty of juice.
Strange my Corsair one looked and powered on fine, over the past few months I would power on and the monitor would go to sleep as soon as it powered on. I thought it was the GFX card then the MOBO but a cousin tried it on his system and it worked. I always thought PSU's went with a bright blue spark like on the beginning of the Terminator movies.

It normally does and at the same time covers everything in horrible dust. From what you describe I would have suspected the mobo tbh or a gpu power cable. Have you tried connecting to onboard vga and a different video out on your gpu?

Yup tried every combination, my cousin is a ict bod at a local uni and I have been self building for years. I did all I could on my own then used different components from his PC to check. Bought new psu and works like a charm. The corsair was not modular and the cables were a pain in the bum. This one has a 5 year warranty (corsair was 5 years old and had 36 month warranty).
I would have got the 750 and drove to another local store but they didn't stock it. I wanted one that day so went with 650w. Happy so far just wondering if the i5 2500k will be up to BF1!

The 2500k will crush it especially if you overclock it (you have a K why wouldn't you?) - easy 4.8ghz. Its all about the gpu imo.

Oh, that 650w G2 with flubit is very tempting. Got a rig I've been building for my mum that could use a reliable quiet psu, I had been considering between just buying her a Corsair CS450M for £40, or giving her my old Corsair HX520w and upgrading mine. Was thinking either a RM650x or RM650i, but that G2 could be a better idea.

Otherwise it would have been a very good price.
