How good is the Corsair CS650M?

[AllRiggedUp]

I have heard the the Corsair CX series is no good but was wondering if the CS650M is a decent PSU?

It is a little bit better. CX is budget CS is one step up.

It's better than the CX. Still not wonderful. There are better options out there for less money like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9 or this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

Not the best in its wattage bracket, but it is a perfectly decent model. I'd personally recommend looking at one of the above timeconsumer linked though, they are better units in that price bracket.

Its mediocre one step below decent. And they are often overpriced. Here in the US you can usually find a higher quality unit for the same price or less.
