Hey, everyone!

I have reached a dillemma with my Cooler Master 500w Thunder PSU as of late

I know that it will be able to sustain my system (The specs being: )

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i5 3570 @ 3.40GHz
Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z77M-D3H (Intel Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz)
Graphics
2250W (1920x1080@60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics (Gigabyte) (The previous GPU was the 7770, it was dead silent and never had any problems)
Storage
465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKX-00U6AA0 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224DB ATA Device
Audio

If my PSU is too risky to handle the new parts I am planning to include, which PSU should I switch to? My Budget is very flexible and I don't think I will be at shortage with my upgrade(s)

Thanks in advance <3

I have been eyeing the Corsair CS750M due to its gold efficiency and overall wattage, would you say it is a good option seeing as I would want a little more out of my system by way of overclocking? The price tag does seem a little too much for what you're getting in comparison to other options, though
