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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

Otherwise it would have been a very good price.
