Don't buy Raidmax PSUs, they are terrible. If you're going for a 700w Power Supply Unit, I recommend this one -

XFX Pro series 750w 80+ Bronze certified Semi-modular PSU - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750xxxb9

This is a much higher quality unit than the Raidmax unit, as it is made by Seasonic, IMO, the most respected and highly praised Power Supply Unit OEM manufacture there is.
