Should I use a Corsair RM650 in my Gaming PC Build

[florosus]

I was thinking about getting a ghetto CX750M Power supply for a new gaming rig (4790K + GTX 970) but then I saw that RM PSUs were not that much more expensive. People buy them so much, but on professional forums they're often criticised for bad quality ( though not bad quality control in favour of SeaSonic and XFX PSUs. So am I making a mistake in buying an RM650 fro my PC and should I go with another brand in the same price range? What models do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

theres no need for such a high Watt PSu, a 500w will be more than enough, but if you are planning on going with the RM650 its all good, the Psu is great but they are cheaper alternative.

You already said it. Seasonic or XFX... or EVGA.

Rm650 is not bad bad but there is better alternatives which is probably cheaper than the RM 650.

I had a Corsair RM1000 and from what I have read and encountered, they do not do well under full load given if you are utilizing about 95% of the 1000 watts. They tend to fluctuate but is perfect if you utilize only 80% of the PSU's capability.
