Your current PSU is sufficient, so not sure why you are considering replacing it.

My i7-3770K + GTX1080 never hits 375Watts. I know, because that's when the fan kicks in on my EVGA G2 750W.

So you probably sit near 60% load with that setup under heavy gaming.

If you want one to reduce NOISE that's a different story. If so I'd get a 750W with an ECO mode which can disable the fan. Yes, 750W is overkill but with a 650W the fan MIGHT kick in and defeat the point of it (the G2 fan is surprisingly noisy).

*There are some other excellent power supplies that have quiet fans though. My EVGA G2 fan was supposed to be quiet. It's not. I bought my dad a "Be Quiet!" PSU which is pretty great.
