So I was looking for one of these for a while and ended up having to go for a less efficient model, which was not modular. This means my PC build has loads of wires floating around in the case that aren't needed and it'll end up using more power over the course of its lifetime. Okay so it might only amount to a few pounds saved on electricity, but it all helps. EVGA are generally a great manufacturer of power supplies.

So I have no idea why the trend is to start a sentence with the word 'So'

It's a soft opening to a statement.
Random person on the street: "Amazon is corrupt!" -> Rude, crazy.

What **** me off more is when people start a sentence with "I mean,". **** off, you're not American, stop bringing that **** here and corrupting OUR language.

Great PSU! I bought the 750 version for a 7700K &1070 build and it's perfect. No redundant wires, quiet. Cables were a little tough to bend around the side of the case for cable management, and the male/female fit between connector and port was VEEERY snug.
And for the price and brand. Definietely worth it.
I got a Supernova G3 650W a few weeks back for £93. But probably would have went for ths for the price.

Yes, but GQ is FSP and so is G1. Only G2 is SuperFlower whereas GS is Seasonic. Nothing wrong with FSP as such, but I'd usually go for SuperFlower or Seasonic.
Having said that, if we look at only the 650W models on JonnyGuru we get these scores:
G1 (FSP) = 8.6
GS (Seasonic) = 9.1+
G2 (SuperFlower) = 9.4
GQ (FSP) = 9.4
So it looks like FSP have improved their design (or EVGA have spec'ed better parts).

This is a great power supply. I can personally attest to its reliability.
After having intermittent issues with my computer and replacing all the components to still experience the issues I guessed the issue was the only element I did not replace - the powersupply. It turns out that my old power supply was not able to provide the consistent output required by newer more power hungry components - more specifically the quad core processor and the graphics card. Replacing the old one with the has led to a very reliable computer with no more failing components.

Despite all this, would rebuy/recommend. Heat.
