Hi everyone,
I have a very high end, brand new performance/gaming rig I use for work and gaming. Most of my rig I replaced this year but one thing I have dragged on from build to build is this Thermaltake TR2 600W PSU:

When I originally bought this PSU along time ago, I didn't know what I was really doing and just rushed and bought something. Now recently I started noticing on maximum load my PSU is using over the 600W limit of this power supply. I am getting random shut downs/reboots and have routed it down to my PSU. Not only that, but it is noisy at times and made my electric bill go up. Overall this just isn't a quality PSU for my expensive, water cooled rig.
I have educated myself on PSU's through this site and others and I would like to get something that is going to last a long time, save energy costs, and have lots of power to run my demanding rig. I have been eyeballing this PSU for the past week and I really like what I see (the Corsair HX750):

Bottom line - I love the stats on it. Do you guys recommend this HX750 model or should I get something cheaper or a different brand? Is is worth the extra cost? But how much more "efficient" would it be than say, the CX750? The CX750 is almost $50 cheaper and I really don't if the cables are modular or not. There's a CX, TX, and HX models. The HX just seems to be the biggest jump. For that extra cash you get a gold rated, high quality PSU it seems.
I'm also hell bent on the Corsair. It just seems like a sexy PSU. Does anyone recommend anything better for the price than the Corsair? I just hear Corsair is among the best for PSUs and I own a Corsair Force SSD and I absolutely love it and never had problems with it.
